Abstract

In the modern era, data is recognized as a critical resource for economic and societal development. Open Government Data (OGD) is a concept gaining global attention, with many countries advocating for its use to enhance transparency, innovation, and economic growth. Despite the proactive OGD policies and achievements of various governments, the utilization rate among companies worldwide remains low. This study explores the reasons behind this underutilization by comparing the perspectives of key stakeholders—governments and companies. Utilizing Social Representations Theory, the research analyzes news articles to reveal companies' perceptions and reasons for not using OGD. The study identifies 15 conceptual elements and highlights differences in stakeholder structures. By understanding the views of both governments and companies, the research uncovers barriers to OGD utilization and proposes solutions to enhance policy implementation, business uptake, and economic progress.
