etc. Therefore, we made a small change in the reporting structure and decided to put these information kiosks under the direct supervision of the village panchayat’. [Respondent #14] In the above case, an effort to establish congruence between the prevailing socio-cultural context and the e-government project’s design significantly affected the sustainability of the information kiosks. This example highlights the need for governments to understand the diverse social norms, types of peer pressure and operating environments in which citizens consume government services, encounter socio-cultural barriers and live their lives. Based upon the above evidence, we pro- pose that defining the socio-cultural context significantly influences customer-centricity, which may strengthen the feasibility of e-govern- ment projects. 4.2.1.3. Co-creating value. Co-creating value involves collaborations between the government and citizens and/or representatives of society to generate mutual benefits through continuous rounds of interactions and feedback. We root this argument in the premise of service-dominant logic, which postulates the customer as a co-creator of value ( Vargo & Lusch, 2004 ). Adopting service-dominant logic, governments can leverage their strengths to accumulate and capitalise on their citizens’ knowledge and thereby co-create innovative and impactful e-govern- ment services. For example, the eGram project followed the service-dominant logic across different phases. The project team actively involved all stakeholders in identifying the impact areas, continuously shared information with stakeholders via repetitive rounds of in- teractions and incorporated stakeholders’ feedback into the project’s design. Commenting on the value of co-creation, one senior policymaker noted: ‘The government today is encouraging citizen participation in multiple ways. For example, hackathons are organised to seek participatory so- lutions from citizens. Similarly, the district administration is encouraged to spend time in rural areas to directly interact with the citizens and build trust-based relationships’. [Respondent #142] Value co-creation is a multifaceted process that involves a complex array of dimensions such as connection, trust and commitment ( Randall et al., 2011 ). However, co-creation is a desirable goal and can signifi- cantly improve customer orientation ( Jaworski & Kohli, 2014 ), ulti- mately enhancing the desirability of e-government from the citizens’ perspective. 4.2.2.
