Description: The LBJ School graduate seminar "Digital Transformation of Organizations" is a look at how public sector and nonprofit organizations are being transformed by the use of digital information technologies, specifically computers and the Internet. There is widespread agreement among experts that public sector organizations and nonprofits are on the threshold of a significant transformation of organizational forms and processes, changes that have already swept the private sector. These changes are made possible by innovative uses of information technologies and also innovations in management and organization. E-government, online fundraising, virtual campaigns and other new features of public life are just the beginning of such changes.
