We advance primary empiricalresearch for the main case study that clarifies that there are cultural obstacles to employingsocial media and adopting the digital timestream, and advancing the data science abilitiesrequired to obtain public usefulness from big data. We use meta-analysis to inspect theevidence that Internet and mobile-based digital technologies favour co-production and cocreation: at the separate level, most individuals handle their matters with government as theydo with their bank; at the shared level, co-production may entail a type of crowdsourcing,where individuals inform governments of non-necessity issues in proximities, while at thestrategy level, co-production advances so as to achieve co-creation, individuals employing thegovernment as stage notion to co-create both strategy and services. Based on this evidence,we exemplify arguments that governments are unsuccessful in taking advantage of theaffordances of big data, whereas individuals are powerle
