Abstract: Rapid technological advancements, such as the spread of digital government and the capacity to gather and analyze large amounts of data, promise to make the public sector leaner, more efficient, and more responsive to people's demands. It tries to address the following question: how can the problems of information system (IS) innovation in public organizations be explained and solved in the light of the interactions between IT and public bureaucracy? The article is empirical research that employs an interpretative philosophy to guide the collection of qualitative evidence. Advanced computer technologies are increasing, not eradicating, bureaucratic tendencies in the public sector. The public bureaucracy's variable aspects should be de-institutionalized, including uniform and centralized personnel functions and information. Adjusting information technology requires constraining commitments and expectations inside public organizations. While technological advancements have the potential to revolutionize the way public sector organizations work, they may also serve to bolster bureaucracy's primary mission.
