in incrementally changing and shifting traditional and bureaucratic government
models into the current e-government model where services are delivered
according customers’ needs. 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 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 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 above-mentioned 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</span></p>
