In "E-Governance Is Good Governance," from "Internet Management for Nonprofits," authors Dottie Schindlinger and Leanne Bergey define e-governance and examine how Web-based technologies like board portals can improve leadership and management.

While focusing on improving these qualities in the boards of non-profit organizations, these technologies have applicability in for-profit business as tools for facilitating document sharing, communication and collaboration. Sarbanes-Oxley and other legislation have goaded many companies to adopt e-governance principles in order to comply with transparency rules.
