These areas are assessed by using the IC management model and the CMMI model. Employing the IC management process enables not only practitioners to effectively manage resources, but also auditors to more objectively assess the input area. Using the CMMI model allows governments to conduct process\u2010based assessments.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The paper contributes to the literature and practice in the following ways. First, it outlines how to define and assess key attributes of e\u2010government activities. It can help governments to enhance the awareness and understanding of maturity levels of e\u2010government. Second, this research expands the scope of current studies on a maturity model by providing a balanced view between input factors (resources) and results (maturity stages). For practitioners, assessing the input factors enables them to realize how to prioritize strategies and resources. For academics, this attempt sheds light on the concepts of IC in e\u2010government studies. Third, considering the CMMI model will be helpful to conduct an objective and useful assessment. On the basis of a matrix for assessing maturity levels, governments can conduct self\u2010assessment and establish stable and mature implementation processes.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/13287261011070858","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,8,28]],"date-time":"2010-08-28T07:09:30Z","timestamp":1282979370000},"page":"230-244","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":71,"title":["E\u2010government maturity model using the capability maturity model integration"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Dong\u2010Young","family":"Kim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Gerald","family":"Grant","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022031520452678400_b1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Affisco, J.F. and Soliman, K.S.
