Intersecting the government citizen and business domain a business model can be defined considering the government-to-business government-to-citizen and government-to-government approaches. Governments around the world try to follow their most of the time ambitious strategies to become or stay competitive. In this study Austrian strategies and projects for electronic government as well as their implementation plans were analysed followed by an examination of the electronic services offered by the national governmental authorities in Austria one pioneer in electronic government in Europe leading in the European E-Government ranking 2010 and the declared 'European champion in eGovernment' for the fourth time in a row. The results revealed that Austria has developed hybrid electronic government strategies and has launched projects in that field in which national governmental authorities have to participate in order to offer electronic government services at a high level and in a competitive international environment. On a whole offering a one-stop shop gateway to governmental information and transactions generally offers higher attractiveness for conducting nationwide business and all incentives for electronic government focus on developing good practices in the area of efficient and effective electronic government. Nevertheless national strategies are transformed and implemented in different ways not always following the one-stop-shop approach and contributing to the development of isolated applications instead of integrated ones.

The European Commission encourages companies to apply fair employment practices that respect human rights particularly where products come from outside the EU. In this contribution the activities of the European Union on Corporate Social Responsibility are analyzed focusing on the 2011-2014 strategy on Corporate Social Responsibility which was published in 2011 and corporate social responsibility reporting and disclosure. The results of the analysis revealed that the European Commission by publishing their new policy on corporate social responsibility intends to enhance positive and to minimize and prevent negative impacts in close collaboration with their stakeholders addressing different actions such as the establishment of sector-based platforms for enterprises and stakeholders to make commitments and jointly monitor progress. The promotion of social and environmental responsibility through the supply-chain and the disclosure of non-financial information are recognised as important cross-cutting issues.
