What the paper says

This study examines the preconditions necessary for digital transformation in governance, particularly in developing countries. Using a dual-method approach—systematic literature review (SLR) and morphological analysis—the research identifies key technological, organizational, and environmental factors that enable or inhibit digital adoption in the public sector. The findings highlight leadership commitment, effective change management, public engagement, and private sector collaboration as critical enablers, while inadequate infrastructure, resistance to change, and regulatory barriers act as inhibitors. The study contributes to the literature by offering a comprehensive framework for understanding digital transformation adoption in governance. Practically, it provides policymakers with actionable insights to navigate digital transformation challenges and enhance governance effectiveness.
