Jon Gant, Senior Business Advisor Jon P. Gant. Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor of Information Management and Public Administration at Syracuse University with a joint appointment in the Public Administration Department of the Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and the School of Information Studies. Dr. Gant is also a Senior Research Associate of the Center for Technology and Information Policy at Syracuse University. Dr. Gant's research examines information strategy and management in public organizations. As public organizations worldwide aspire to use information and communication technologies to transform their organizations and to address complex public policy problems, they face new and unfamiliar challenges as they blend old and new technologies, maneuver through complex layers of organizational regimes, and redefine entrenched processes. To overcome these issues, Dr. Gant's research assists by evaluating how government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and school districts can best organize their service delivery strategy around an E-government agenda. Dr. Gant's research portfolio includes scholarly publications and on-going multinational research examining the following: evaluation methods of E-government services; new models of public-private collaborations for delivering E-government services; strategic use of geospatial technologies to enhance E-government; the adoption and diffusion of information technology innovations; the influence of social capital and knowledge networks on the performance of organizations; the use of geographic information systems to enhance collaboration between public and non-profit service delivery providers; and, the development of geospatial-enabled policy support systems. Dr. Gant has also received research grant support from the National Science Foundation, the IBM Endowment for the Business of Government, Gangnam-Gu District of Seoul, Korea, and the Syracuse City School District. Dr. Gant completed his graduate studies in information technology and organizations by earning Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in Public Policy and Management from the Heinz School of Public Policy and Management at Carnegie Mellon University in 1998 and earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Michigan in 1987.
