Abstract

The promise of digital government is to support citizen engagement and participation in government. The goal in service development under digital governance is to create services and delivery systems that create value for several stakeholders. Creation digital government services is, however, a challenging task as it requires a smooth co-operation between several different actors. In this paper, we analyze an empirical study of a co-creation project of a digital government service in Finland through activity theory lenses. The aim is to identify the co-creation activity system and further, to evaluate the outcome by applying a value co-creation measurement framework
