PINERO MARTIN, Ma. Lourdes; CARRILLO VASQUEZ, Alfonso  y  GARCIA G, Blanquita C. Premises for an Electronic Government Strategy in the Management of University Virtualization.. Revista Venezolana de Gerencia [online]. 2007, vol.12, n.40, pp.572-598. ISSN 1315-9984.

This article proposes thoughts and premises to configure e-government as a strategy for managing the virtualization of higher education, supported by the use of ICTs, beyond computerization and the incorporation of value in university functions, especially directed to the quest for quality improvement in service delivery and its connection with society. The study proposes the development, design and implementation of a draft for a strategic institutional project in technological innovation for e-government, taking into account that social management of the transformation process for organizational culture is as or more important than technical management. The study, with a theoretical-documentary methodological approach, relates to the research project, “Information and communication technologies as tools for innovation in university management,” registered under the line of investigation Information and communication technologies, teaching and innovation, in the UPEL-IPB; and is related as well to projects of the Program “Education and Quality of Life” at LUZ, Punto Fijo, and the project “ICTs and university modernization” at UNEXPO-Barquisimeto.
