Public Private Partnerships (PPP) have emerged as one of the major approaches for delivering infrastructure projects effectively. This article develops a PPP framework development. It discusses examples worldwide applications, well benefits and obstacles through literature review on PPP-related research over last 20 years. The syntheses knowledge present foundations from which laws, regulations, guidelines effective successful implementation can be established. analysis reveals that create...

The principal goal of this study was to determine the financial and organizational impacts project management. This began with development a management maturity model an analysis methodology assess processes. consists 148 multiple-choice questions that measure maturity, cover 8 knowledge areas 6 phases. were then applied by benchmarking 38 different companies government agencies in 4 industries. assessment provides solid comparative studies on practices across industries within industry. It...

Design/build has become one of the favored project delivery methods in engineering construction industry. Numerous studies have advocated use design/build over traditional design/bid/build approach. A comprehensive analysis 67 global projects from Construction Industry Institute's database shows that may not provide all benefits to performance. The study found timesaving was a definitive advantage delivery, but, positive effects cost and productivity changes were convincing. Based on results...

This paper presents the project management process maturity (PM)2 model that determines and positions an organization's relative level with other organizations. The comprehensive follows a systematic approach to establish current level. Each consists of major characteristics, factors, processes. evolves from functionally driven organizational practices organization incorporates continuous learning. provides orderly, disciplined achieve higher levels maturity.

Changes in projects are common and may be deleterious or beneficial—whether you see a change as conflict valuable lesson depends only on your prospective. Project changes affect the cost, scheduling, duration of projects, both directly indirectly. Despite many articles much discussion practice academic literature, there is lack information about systematic approaches to manage project change. This paper introduces comprehensive management system that founded five principles: (1) promote...

The construction industry is beginning to utilize building information modeling (BIM), benefiting from the improved visualization and productivity, better coordination of drawings, documents that contain embedded links virtual information, faster delivery, lower costs. However, companies often find it challenging reorganize their company's organizational structure take full advantage these benefits BIM adoption implementation. This study explores contractors' transformation strategies will...

In 2004, Korea became the fifth country in world to own and operate a high-speed railway called Train eXpress (KTX). Numerous uncertainties challenges during planning managing phase resulted schedule delays cost overruns. The delay causes of each activity along 412 km route were very difficult identify because KTX project consisted 11 141 different activities. This paper evaluates challenges, obstacles, performances project. First, critical sections that influenced significant completion...

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems offer many benefits to the engineering–construction industry. Many construction firms recognize of ERP system implementation; however, they still hesitate adopt these due high cost, uncertainties, and risks. This study identifies analyzes critical factors that need be considered ensure successful implementation in First, this paper associated with success failure systems, provides indicators evaluate such systems. Then, develops an information model...

Recently, a significant number of major construction companies embarked on the implementation integrated information technology solutions such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to better integrate various business functions. However, these in sector present set unique challenges, different from those manufacturing or other service sectors. There have been many cases failure implementing ERP past, so it is critical identify and understand factors that largely determine success...

This study aims at providing an alternative view of users' enterprise resource planning (ERP) acceptance. Despite the large body literature, there are still empirical inquiries to investigate ERP system implementation from end-users' perspectives as well different organizational contexts. To address these issues, we set a project-based sector our population interest and seek understand how project management practices interrelated with cognitive perception, in end, their behavioral intention...

This paper describes a procedure that can help managers measure their return on investment for project management (PM/ROI). Current PM processes and practices of 38 different companies government agencies in 4 industries or application areas were quantitatively examined. A benchmarking was developed used to assess the process maturity these organizations. 5-level Berkeley model is introduced. information relative sophistication organizations industries.

The main objective of this research is to propose and present the Open Government Implementation Model (OGIM), which a stage model that prescribes guides government agencies on their journey open government. OGIM defines four implementation stages describes focuses, deliverables, benefits, challenges, best practices, metrics for each stage. A thesis states should advance initiatives in progressive orderly manner by focusing one at time, starting from increasing data transparency (Stage 1),...
