What the paper says
Electronic government is critical for fostering innovation and entrepreneurship in rapidly evolving digital economies. Although prior research highlights the role of digital public services, the literature remains fragmented, offering limited insight into how digital government initiatives systematically enhance innovation performance. This study develops a strategic, multi-level framework of critical success factors influencing digital government capacity and performance, examining Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 digital transformation using total interpretive structural modeling. Seven factors are identified: innovation capacity and performance, digital infrastructure, strategic partnerships, digital technology adoption, government digitalization efforts, entrepreneurial competence, and digital dynamic capabilities. Government digital transformation is the primary driver, while partnerships, infrastructure, institutional digitalization, and capacity building exert systemic effects.
