Digital Government Governance: Strategic Synergy in Cross-Departmental Data Sharing

Abstract

This paper examines strategic synergy in digital government development, focusing on cross-departmental data sharing under China’s “One-Stop Online Service” initiative. Drawing on an integrated analytical perspective, the study analyzes institutional fragmentation, technological interoperability constraints, and organizational trust deficits that jointly constrain effective collaboration. Based on this analysis, the paper proposes targeted governance adjustments aimed at reducing coordination costs and improving data-sharing performance. By clarifying the mechanisms underlying collaboration barriers, the study contributes to understanding how digital government reforms can enhance service efficiency and governance modernization.
