Abstract:

This research is based on evidences which show that project success in public sector construction projects in Nigeria is hindered by, among other issues, poor stakeholder management. As a result, the study involved the development of a conceptual model for effective stakeholder management. Using the conceptual model, empirical studies to establish the practice of stakeholder management in Nigerian public sector projects in four public universities as case studies were carried out. The resulting data were analysed, which revealed significant weaknesses in the practice of stakeholder management.

Abstract:

The objective of this study was to investigate IT projects within the Swedish public sector. Furthermore we have looked at the project closure in IT projects. The problem that occurs in this topic is that the projects can run overtime or over budget. In this research we used interviews to conduct the data collection. We have collected data from two public sector organizations – Jönköpings kommun and Domstolsverket, both of these orginzations have a dedicated IT department. Through the methods, theoretical framework and analysis we found many different activities and theories on how to handle p

Abstract:

The UK Government invests billions of pounds annually in infrastructure projects to support more effective public service provision. However, numerous major projects have failed to meet expectations, or have delivered only with significant budget increases and extensions to project timetables. This research aims to close the feedback loop in the risk management process on public sector construction projects so that previous experience is used to inform and improve performance on future projects.

Abstract:

Because of the conceptual level rather than the process or practices, many projects might have not been able to achieve their objectives and desired results. Therefore, project management research could be supported by strategic management theory and literature especially the Resource Based View (RBV). Furthermore, intangible resources that are made and organised during project realization are the factor on which differential performance of projects is dependent. In response to this need, this study aimed to understand the nature of the relationship between intangible resources and project suc

Abstract:

Public Private Partnership (PPP) procurement has developed in many countries, as an effective way for governments to allay their financial burden and/or improve the efficiencies of public services. However, PPP has also experienced many ups and downs in its applications. As a collaborative venture between public and private sectors, the quality of the relationship between them has been shown to be a key contributor to the success of a PPP project. However, no study has, as yet, conceptualized and tested an integrative framework for modeling and addressing the relational aspect in PPP p

Abstract:

Grenada is 1 of 15 developing countries in Caribbean Community known as CARICOM. The infrastructure capital projects in these developing countries are plagued with an array of issues: unethical practices, inadequate supervision, lack of transparency and accountability, inadequate monitoring and evaluation, cost overruns, and inefficiencies. In the 1980s and 1990s, the International Monitory Fund and World Bank introduced a balanced scorecard engineered under the structural adjustment program, but it was unable to improve infrastructure project efficiencies.

Abstract:

Within a contemporary context of self-revelation, which Jon Dovey has called the 'selfspeaking society' and Ken Plummer has described as the 'auto/biographical society', public funds are being directed towards inviting members of the public to represent themselves on public platforms. This thesis asks how processes of mediation shape these self-representations in public sector projects in the cultural sphere. The notion of mediation as a process delineates a specific form of enquiry which stresses both the multiple factors that shape meaning, and the open-ended nature of meaning-making. Within

Alliances are novel procurement options providing governments with the opportunity to engage in collaborative arrangements with industry and sharing risks and rewards and at the same time eliminating disputes. Most alliances incorporate unanimous decision-making protocols, a commercial arrangement where there is no recourse to the courts for dispute resolution, and a remuneration system where the contractor and principal share cost overruns and underruns. This arrangement offers substantial benefits for the procurement of high-risk projects, but there are substantial disadvantages. The fir

Risk management (RM) is a knowledge area in project management (PM). The challenges of project complexity require astute RM. However, RM practices in Lesotho appear to lag behind international trends. Within the sub-Sahara African region, RM incompetence affects timely delivery of public projects owing to PM practices that do not address risks. This study, which adopts a case study approach, unravels the „how and why‟ of contemporary RM practices which are lacking in Lesotho, despite a poor record of project success in the construction industry.

This study investigates the behavior of contractors when submitting bids under different institutional arrangements. Construction projects under the private and public sectors in Hong Kong operate under two distinct contractual and bidding arrangements giving different degrees of risk and uncertainty to the contractors. First, private sector projects in Hong Kong invariably adopt conditions of contracts that shift more risk to the contractor. A typical example is private sector projects do not normally allow fluctuation adjustments, thereby shifting the risks of future increase in prices of co

Abstract:

Abstract Digitalization is a megatrend that also drives public sector reforms toward improved citizen service processes by adopting digital technologies. The digitalization of the public sector, also referred to as e-government transformation, is a strenuous institutional change process that starts with strategy and policy formation and is eventually carried out through individual information and communication (ICT) development projects and programs. ICT projects in the public sector still struggle due to challenges and complexities such as technological uncertainty. These project-level strugg

Abstract:

Based on Dunning's dominant international business theory and the unique characteristics of construction, a novel framework is developed and tested to explain multinational contracting into Australia. Beyond contributions to theory, Australian governments now have clear evidence upon which to develop more effective procurement reform towards increasing the attractiveness of public sector major infrastructure projects and competition in this sector.

Abstract:

Governments of developed and developing countries alike are unable to fund the construction and maintenance of vital physical infrastructure such as roads, railways, water and wastewater treatment plants, and power plants. Thus, they are more and more turning to the private sector as a source of finance through procurement methods such as concession contracts. The most common form of concession contract is the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contract, where a government (Principal) grants a private sector company (Promoter) a concession to build, finance, operate and maintain a facility and colle

Abstract:

Inom forskning om ’projektframgång’ råder det delade meningar om vad begreppet egentligen innebär. Det saknas ett allmängiltigt ramverk för att värdera framgång. Den här studien utforskar begreppet genom att studera upplevelsen av framgång hos olika deltagare i ett projekt som genomförts inom offentlig verksamhet. Med syfte att förstå hur de olika deltagarna inom projektet definierar vad som är framgångsrikt och ta reda på vilka dimensioner av framgång som är viktiga för dem har sex respondenter intervjuats. Resultatet har analyserats genom Shenhar, Levy och Dvirs (1997) fyra dimensioner a

Abstract:

A retificação do Riacho, conhecido como Arroio Dilúvio, foi uma das principais obras implantadas na cidade de Porto Alegre (Brasil). Esta intervenção deu origem à atual Avenida Ipiranga, que rasga a cidade de leste a oeste com cerca de doze quilômetros canalizados. A implantação do novo canal demorou mais de 30 anos para ser finalizada e pode ser considerada uma grande cirurgia urbana. Através de um olhar mais apurado sobre área que abrange os primeiros quatro quilômetros de sua implantação a partir da foz junto ao Lago Guaíba, o objetivo da pesquisa vem ao encontro do entendimento do processo

Abstract:

Det allmänna trycket på förändringar ökar ständigt, liksom organisationers behov av att hantera och genomföra dessa. Samtidigt är förändringsprojekt komplexa och har en hög misslyckandegrad. Interna förändringsprojekt kan involvera både projektledning och förändringsledning. Skillnaden mellan dessa kan enklast beskrivas som att projektledningens fokus ligger på den tekniska lösningen medan förändringsledningen riktar energin mot att skapa förståelse och acceptans hos projektets berörda individer. Under det senaste decenniet har forskning riktat fokus mot interna förändringsprojekt och behov av
