The ideas of innovation,humanism,effectiveness and service are important elements for every government to apply IT in public administration.The application of IT to enhance the innovation of government administration,to realize the integration of the cross-branch operation and service,to reinvent the flow of administrative operation,and to advance the administrative effectiveness and government service,is the collective manifest of the integration of the IT application and administrative reform in the "movement of new public administration" in western countries.Theorist and practitioner should rethink the interaction of the government administration innovation and the IT application,and pay attention to IT impact as well as to the obstacle to the effective function of IT caused by the administrative notion,theory and bureaucratic system formed in the era of industrial economy.IT will not automatically cause a profound structural change,IT may only exert effective function under the new administrative ideas conformed to the requirement of the development of modern society and economy.Thus,it is of practical importance to explore the scientific meaning,aim of development,application doctrine,specific task and suggestions for the application of IT to advance government administrative innovation.
