For decades, policymakers in developing countries have used megainfrastructure project development to achieve economic growth. However, in practice, megaproject management does not live up to this ambition due to the contradiction between the temporary organisation of megaproject management and the long-term strategic goals embedded. Because of this, there is a strand of literature advocating programme management approach to counteract the complexity of megaproject development. This paper aims to contribute to the literature both on megaproject and programme management by providing a critical evaluation of programme management in dealing with these contradictions, particularly in the case of developing countries. The paper reflects on a case study of the acceleration programme of infrastructure projects in Indonesia through a content analysis and in-depth interviews with key stakeholders and experts. The findings show ineffective and inefficient interaction at the project level, especially in dealing with dynamic power relations and unfamiliar funding schemes.

Knowledge sharing is indispensable for business organisations. The construction industry is one of the sectors in which intensive knowledge is spread across project-based teams. This study sheds light on which method is better for knowledge sharing within construction organisations: technology-based or face-to-face meetings. This research aims to understand organisational knowledge sharing by identifying and exploring the motivations and consequences of using face-to-face interaction vs. technology-based communication in project-based teams. This was undertaken through a qualitative case study with 15 employees of a large construction organisation. A qualitative analysis revealed four main factors related to worth adding a technology-based to face-to-face communication: the use of multiple communication strategies for knowledge sharing, whether sharing of all information via technology is allowed, legal restrictions, and limits on face-to-face communication due to work pressures. These findings contribute to the existing literature by identifying barriers and preferences regarding tools for sharing knowledge in a construction firm.

The purpose of this paper is to report on a study comparing joint venture and non-joint venture projects in terms of their performance and usage of project management practices. Data were obtained from project managers at 99 contracting organisations in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) construction industry. The results show an agreement between the two types of project in the usage level of 35 out of 40 different practices associated with the ten knowledge areas articulated in the Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide (PMI, 2017). However, joint venture construction projects had higher usages of four cost-and procurement-related practices compared to non-joint venture construction projects. The results also show that although they are associated with increased risks due to the involvement of partners, generally the overall performance of joint venture construction projects is comparable with that of non-joint venture construction projects. The findings of this study could be of value to organisations that are planning to form joint venture projects in the UAE and other countries with similar environments.

The purpose of this study is to effectively identify and assess economic risk in decision-making under project environments. A systematic literature review is used to identify the critical relationships between risk and economic decision-making. This paper highlights the implications of these relationships and how they impact a project-based environment. Results revealed salient points such as proper anchoring of project performance with previous risk performance, the necessity of effective, reliable and consistent methods of project risk performance evaluation, the importance of assessing projects in terms of risk-adjusted gains and that returns and risks in the investment portfolio are effectively determined to proactively organise priority portfolio hazards. These findings contribute to economic decision-making and risk management, both in theory and practice.

The main purpose of this research paper is to study the two-way relationship between quality of work life (hereafter QWL) and subjective well-being (hereafter SWB) among IT employees. The study deploys path analysis method to generate and test a model of QWL and SWB. The model was analysed and evaluated with the help of structural equation modelling (SEM) software AMOS 20.0 version. The findings indicated that most indices of the model were desirable and the fitness of the model was proved. It was found that reciprocal relation of QWL and SWB exist. The sample size is of 350 employees which was limited to NCR (India) conducted in IT industry and it is recommended that relationship between QWL and SWB in these findings can be extended to other professionals and non-professionals employed in other industries. This study is new as there has been little recent research undertaken examining the IT sector. More generally, there is a scarcity of work on reciprocal relation of QWL and SWB. The research has developed a comprehensive model linking quality of work life and SWB.

This paper seeks to understand issues and challenges around the application of participatory development methods and practices in the developing world through the case study of participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) in Bangladesh, while offering suggestions to overcome those challenges. Participatory development as a distinctive development paradigm holds strong potential for empowering communities at the grassroots level and promoting local ownership, which promise more sustainable development impact. However, there is growing evidence that many participatory development initiatives have failed in developing countries, largely due to the neglect of contextual specificities relating to culture, inequalities and gender discriminations. Drawing on in-depth interviews with M&E specialists in both Bangladeshi government and international development organisations, I argue that the blanket and insensitive application of PM&E has significantly reduced its effectiveness in Bangladesh where unequal power relations as well as inequalities and discrimination against women are deeply entrenched. The research has significant implications for both development scholarship and project management practice. It contributes to and enriches debates about participatory development and PM&E in the global context.

This study analyse the linkage between total quality management (TQM) implementation and CMMI, both of which promotes continuous improvement, CMMI being, one of the most popular method of continuous improvement in Software industry. This is accomplished by analysing and comparing the extent of TQM implementation in CMMI and non-CMMI rated organisations. This descriptive study keeps the geographical scope limited to Chandigarh and Mohali area. A survey was conducted for selected software development companies through self-administered questionnaire. Using empirical data gathered from a sample of 61, obtained from convenient sampling method, findings were reported. The primary data was analysed using descriptive statistics and independent-samples t-test. It was found that CMMI and non-CMMI organisations have different level of TQM implementation with CMMI organisations having higher level implementation of TQM elements. This study will highlight to top management, the use of CMMI as one of the many ways to implement TQM in software industry.

Project-oriented organisations suffer from knowledge scattering and detachment phenomena on one hand and high potential of knowledge generation on the other hand. These features cause challenges to organisations and increase their need to apply knowledge management particularly knowledge sharing practices. One of the challenges facing project-oriented organisations in establishing knowledge management is choosing an appropriate method for knowledge sharing. Successful implementation of this process in project-oriented organisations, requires identification and study of knowledge sharing approaches, models, tools and techniques. To address this concern, this study commences with the identification of different methods used for knowledge sharing in project-oriented organisations. At the next stage, the identified methods were then classified based on different mechanisms defined for knowledge sharing and by incorporating the opinions of practitioners in the knowledge management area. A practical framework based on ten knowledge areas according to the PMI Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) 6th ed. guide and the opinions of the practitioners was developed.

Project management must consider tradeoffs of risks regarding performance, time, and cost. These tradeoffs may often cause conflicts between the project stakeholders. When decision outcomes are ambiguous and time is pressing, decision-makers may use controversial conflict resolution strategies that are often detrimental, changing conflicts that have constructive potential into those that are unhealthy. We propose a simulation-based DMSS module that can be used to quickly analyse the risks of alternative project plans. Its implementation can reduce the usage of controversial conflict resolution strategies and focus, instead, on one of the cooperation strategies that can enhance performance and well-being at work. Whereas meeting technical specifications is a non-negotiable demand, we can make do with a two-dimensional tradeoffs model - consider tradeoffs between time and cost risks. Thirteen of 17 implementations of the DMSS module hinted that this tool may be beneficial in preventing conflict escalations (a numerical example is given).

Project cost and time overruns have been the subject of much debate in large scale complex project management, however, there is no study of its determinants. This study identifies some specific factors contributing to poor performance in the large scale complex project - none of these is uncommon but here they come together in a more systematic and an integrative way. By providing an integrative framework of failure factors, this study fills an existing gap in the project management literature regarding the lack of understanding of determinants of project cost and time overruns and, from a practice perspective, assists in more effectively distributing limited resources, such as budget, time and manpower.
