E-government implementation efforts have now evolved from basic information provisioning to more integrated service offerings in most countries. Having successfully e-enabled front office and customer facing processes during early e-government efforts, most countries are now working towards reengineering and e-enabling back office processes and information systems to facilitate more joined up <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; LINE-HEIGHT: normal; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times-Roman','serif'; COLOR: black; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Times-Roman" lang=EN-GB>and citizen centric e-government services; these efforts are often referred to as the transformational stage of e-government or t-government. Conversely, many researchers have proposed various stages of e-government development; these revolve mainly around four phases, which are web presence, interaction, transaction and transformation. The transformational phase (or t-government) is considered the highest level of maturity for e-government programmes and encompasses redefining the delivery of government services by providing a single point of contact to citizens’ that makes the government transparent to citizens and businesses. Also, from a demand perspective extensive efforts are required to increase citizens’ awareness about the transformation of the delivery of government services and their online availability. In order to prevent a digital divide in terms of using e-government services, it is also necessary that citizens from all segments of society are equipped with basic ICT skills as well as private and or public access to high speed internet connections (i.e. through the use of broadband connections at home or in public places). The aforementioned issues may seem obvious; nonetheless, we believe that they are critical challenges to various governments’ plans for diffusion as well as citizens’ adoption of e-government services. Subsequently, there are also many technical, organizational, managerial and socio-economic challenges for successful implementation and adoption of e-government, which needs attention from various stakeholders including researchers and policy makers. The aim of this minitrack is to provide a common platform for discussion and presentation of original research highlighting issues related with technical, organizational, managerial and socioeconomic aspects of e-government implementation and adoption from both the <o:p></o:p></SPAN></P><P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify;
