The involvement of the banking sector in the emergence of a national electronic identification (e-ID) in Denmark is a case in point. Drawing on an analysis of primary and secondary data, we adopt the theoretical lens of collective action to investigate how transformations over time in the convergence of interests, the interdependence of resources, and the alignment of governance models between government and the banking sector shaped the emergence of the Danish national e-ID. We propose a process model to conceptualize paths towards the emergence of public-private collaboration for digital information infrastructure – a common good. \10 pagesengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalcollective actione-governmentelectronic identificationpolicypublic-private partnershipConference Paper10.24251/HICSS.2017.336
