Over the last few decades, businesses have developed sophisticated information systems that allow the capture of vast amounts of data. Such data can be potentially useful for enabling government authorities to improve their processes and services. For example, access to business documents and track and trace information associated with supply chain activities is of great interest to customs administrations. Such information holds the potential to make customs risk assessment processes more efficient and effective and to enable faster clearance of goods crossing borders. Businesses, however, are often not willing to voluntarily share information with the government beyond what is strictly mandated to be shared by law (e.g. submitting customs declarations). There is only limited academic research and a general lack of understanding amongst practitioners about how voluntary business-government information sharing can be achieved. In this study, we present a framework to analyse the barriers, drivers, and enablers of voluntary business-government information sharing and the governance processes that make such voluntary information sharing possible. Our analysis shows that voluntary business-government information sharing can succeed when there are strong drivers and a government agency willing to take the lead in initiating the process.

在过去的几十年中，企业开发了先进的信息系统，可以捕获大量数据。此类数据对于使政府当局能够改进其流程和服务可能具有潜在的作用。例如，海关管理部门非常感兴趣的是访问业务文档以及与供应链活动相关的跟踪信息。这些信息有可能使海关风险评估过程更加高效和有效，并能够更快地通关货物。但是，企业通常不愿意与政府自愿共享超出法律严格要求的信息（例如提交海关申报单）的信息。在实践中只有很少的学术研究，而且从业者普遍缺乏对如何实现自愿的企业与政府信息共享的理解。在这项研究中，我们提出了一个框架，用于分析自愿企业与政府信息共享的障碍，驱动因素和推动因素，以及使此类自愿信息共享成为可能的治理流程。我们的分析表明，如果有强大的驱动力和政府机构愿意带头启动流程，那么自愿的企业与政府信息共享就可以成功。自愿企业与政府信息共享的推动者以及使此类自愿信息共享成为可能的治理流程。我们的分析表明，如果有强大的驱动力和政府机构愿意带头启动流程，那么自愿的企业与政府信息共享就可以成功。自愿企业与政府信息共享的推动者以及使此类自愿信息共享成为可能的治理流程。我们的分析表明，如果有强大的驱动力和政府机构愿意带头启动流程，那么自愿的企业与政府信息共享就可以成功。
