Abstract

Though out the long history of public administration, government reform has been considered as a comprehensive planned change that designed to improve the overall performance in such criteria of efficiency, effectiveness, accountability, and responsibility of the government. This paper reviewed the U.S. government's reform efforts, especially E-government reform for the last ten years. The U.S. federal government has developed “Enterprise Architecture (EA)†program as a government reform strategy based on E-government system. The EA with the Business Reference Model (BRM) identifies the federal government's business operations and the agencies that perform them. The EA information supports to reduce functional redundancy among agencies and to prevent potential redundant budget expenditure in the federal governments' business lines, ultimately resulting in cost saving and productivity growth. The U.S. federal EA with the BRM provides useful implications for the theory and the practice of government reform that pursues high level of the overall performance, and transparent public administration
