 Practice in Slovakia 2

Between to , I and other 4 colleagues participated at internship program in Technical University of Kosice. In this period we was familiarized with the main activity that they perform besides university institutions for develop the innovation sphere. Our practice will guided in main with 3 people: Zlatica Dolna, Jan Saliga and Linus Michaeli. 3

For general information, at the beginning we went from the main innovation center of the university – UCITT, here we was informed about scientific activity that is protected by copyright in Slovakia, methods of spreading information about technological inventions created by university, and how to ensure efficient transfer of knowledge, products and technologies into society and economy. 4

After UCITT, we see by one: 1.Start-up Centrum 2. UVP TECHNICO 3.Computer Networks Laboratory (CNL) 4.Slovak technical museum 5.Steel park In this places I see thinks who can implement in our country for advance in many areas. 5

THESIS The progress and obstacles of implementing and improving e-government in developing countries 6

 Many people are having their own definition about E-government. Some say’s E-government is about to put services online.

The purpose of this entire thesis is to gain a better understanding of E-government in developing countries and to identify barriers and also discuss how to deal with those barriers for a successful implementation. To reach this purpose we have formulated following research questions.  How can E-government be described?  How can barriers of E-government be described?  How can successful implementation of E-government be described? 9

11 The thesis will be based on seven chapters. In this first chapter, an introduction to the related field was given, followed by the research purpose and the research questions. The next chapter will explain the literature review and theories allied with research questions. The third chapter will be based on frame of reference. In the forth chapter methodology will be discussed. In the fifth chapter we will present the empirical data. In chapter sixth, the empirical findings, theories will be examined, in order to conduct an analysis. Finally in chapter seven findings and conclusion of this study will be presented.
