This system reduces the processing costs, improves service delivery, and increases trans-parency and communication between a government and its citizens. The aim of this paper is to propose a new model to measure the readiness of e-Government according to cultural factors. By assessing to which degree these cultural factors are present/absent in a country and which of them have a significant impact on government readiness, the government will be able to identify their weakness and strength points, then build a preparing plan that can help them to achieve the readiness required toward a successful implementation of the e-Government systems. %K Cultural Dimension %K E-Government Readiness %K E-Government Initiative %K E-Governments Factors %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperDownload.aspx?DOI=10.4236/iim.2012.45031
