Eight Imperatives for Leaders in a Networked World: A Series of Guidelines for the 2000 Election and Beyond Imperative #8: Prepare for digital democracy (August 2002) Download from: http://www.ksg.harvard.edu/stratcom/hpg/imp8.pdf >From the Introduction... As citizens, we care about how well government meets its responsibilities - about traditional concerns for effectiveness and efficiency. We are also concerned about how the government goes about deciding what its responsibilities should be. We typically care about ends even more than means, about politics more than administration.
