Abstract

In 2014, Scholl and Scholl presented their now frequently cited “roadmap for research and practice” broken down into a matrix of eight “focus areas” and seven “elements of smart governance.” This “Roadmap” intended to help researchers navigate their paths through the relatively complex subject matter of smart governance in the public sector given the multiple interdependencies and topical interconnections within the proposed matrix. Since that time, scholastic research on the subject matter has indeed mushroomed and covered almost the entire spectrum that Scholl and Scholl’s Roadmap had laid out. With 171 identified research studies this chapter documents the actual overall coverage and pinpoints the few open spots. It also briefly reviews and discusses examples of research in the eight focus areas. Furthermore, the chapter determines major themes that permeate the research on smart governance in the public sector. Based on the illustrative review, it is concluded that the 2014 Roadmap has indeed been useful to identify potential gaps in research but also further guide empirical and theoretical research on the subject matter.
