Describing, Building, and Using the Public Administration Genome (PAG)This tutorial will introduce attendees to a new concept for a comprehensive support system intended for public administrators, theorists, consultants, students, and inquiring citizens alike. The system, called "COMPASS," is a product of the overarching Public Administration Genome Project (PAGP). The tutorial will first describe the project and then discuss the building of and making use of the PAGP and COMPASS. Presented by: Using Partial Least Squares (PLS) for Digital Government ResearchPLS is a structural equation modeling (SEM) technique similar to covariance-based SEM as implemented in LISREL, EQS, or AMOS. Therefore, PLS can simultaneously test the measurement model (relationships between indicators and their corresponding constructs) and the structural model (relationships between constructs). However, unlike its covariance-based counterpart, PLS allows researchers to working with small samples, too many or too few variables, data from non-normal or unknown distributions, and relatively new theories in which relationships between variables are not well defined. This tutorial shows how to use partial least squares (PLS) and argues that the correct use of this technique could help to incorporate more realistic assumptions and better measurements into digital government research. It does it through a commented example of a digital government research study. Presented by: Gobierno 2.0: Nuevas Tendencias en el uso de Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación en el Sector PúblicoEl objetivo del tutorial es familiarizar a funcionarios públicos con las tecnologías de información, particularmente con las nuevas tendencias del gobierno electrónico y las aplicaciones y herramientas Web 2.0. El tutorial incluye tanto aspectos estratégicos como operativos del gobierno electrónico, y busca promover la reflexión y el intercambio de visiones en cuanto a sus alcances, desafíos y aplicaciones.
