Abstract:
In a commercial environment that is ever changing, organisations have to constantly adapt to remain competitive. To ensure the benefits of change are achieved a coherent and structured approach to implementing change is essential, as disconnected initiatives often fail.

Abstract:
To facilitate a better understanding of the social psychological factors that influence adoption of project management practices, this study draws upon the theory of reasoned action (TRA) and the theory of planned behavior (TPB) from social psychology, and the technology acceptance model (TAM) from information systems research. These models define and relate a number of belief constructs that predict the acceptance of technologies in a variety of settings. In general, the three models each have relatively consistent empirical support, with comparison studies showing mixed support for each of t

In general, dreams are conceived, ideas are conceptualised, and initiatives are embarked upon in order to alter the state of realities.

However, anecdotal evidence as well as empirical findings has continued to reiterate the difficulties associated with realising dreams related to construction projects. Extending the „dream‟ analogy to the South African construction industry context therefore paints an uninspiring picture.

Studies have shown that nearly two thirds of all SPI efforts have failed or fallen short of expectations. It is often stated in SPI-related literature and practice that "commitment" to SPI plays an important part in determining whether an SPI endeavor ultimately becomes a success or a failure. However, it often remains unclear what this concept actually means and how it affects SPI. This thesis argues for

Abstract:
<p></p><p>Visual inspection is the primary means of ensuring the safety and functionality of in-service bridges in the United States and owners spend considerable resources on such inspections. While the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and many state departments of transportation have guidelines related to inspector qualification, training, and certification, an inspector’s actual capability to identify defects in the field under these guidelines is unknown. This research aimed to address the knowledge gap surrounding visual inspection performance for steel bridges in order to support

To break down the law even further, it specifically stated that the number of transistors on an affordable CPU would double every two years but “more transistors” is more accurate. For the technologies used in 45nm/28nm which have to be improved and modified in order to apply on narrower dimension of structure due to the strictly opening. The thesis elaborates t

It also so called “H” shape beam and this shape of beam provide more bending strength and anti-cut stiffness. It has been widely applied in wind turbine blade structure design. In this article, a high strength and lightweight materials for composite wind turbine blades was developed and its structural improvement of research was studied. It was used woven glass fiber/epoxy resin/hardener
