The Role of E-Government in the Effective Implementation of Privatization Policy in Iran's Banking Industry

Abstract

The policy of Principle 44 (privatization) marks the beginning of an economic reform in the country. It can achieve its goal if properly managed. Therefore, the primary and most crucial duty for the government, the judiciary, and the legislature is to implement this policy effectively. This study presents an appropriate model for utilizing e-government in the effective and desirable implementation of privatization in Iran's banking industry. The present research is qualitative and employs thematic analysis for data analysis. The statistical population includes 18 academic experts and senior specialists in the field of privatization. A qualitative data approach and semi-structured written interviews were used to identify and describe the dimensions, components, and indicators. The results showed that relying on e-government in the effective implementation of privatization policy in the banking industry leads to the identification of model elements and results in the effective execution of privatization and the desirable implementation of Principle 44 in the country's banking industry.
