This chapter discusses the challenge imposed by the dispersed innovation that shifts toward replicating the positive traits of co-location and coupling it with the unique advantages of the global initiative. Key concepts in this chapter include project risk, risk pertinent to the innovative...

Over the last few decades, a large number of research studies have been carried out on project manager’s leadership competencies. However, systematic literature reviews are still scarce in the project management literature. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to conduct a systematic...

The study aimed to identify critical success factors of HEC’s financial assistance and scholarship projects. Financial support plays a vital role in contending difficulties of higher education access. Lack of resources prevents talented youth from realizing their potentials in getting higher...

Leadership and organizational culture are linked to project performance. The culture of the organization exerts an influence on the leader and shapes the actions and competencies of the leader with the passage of time. For last few decades, project management has extensively been involved in...

Schedule delays in construction projects are often a major concern and considered as a global phenomenon in the construction industry. In regards to project delivery, lack of senior management support is one of the main issues that impact project outcomes. This empirical research study aims to...

Numerous exact algorithms have been developed for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Experimental studies have shown that currently even projects with only 60 activities cannot be optimally solved within a reasonable amount of time. Therefore heuristics employing...

Over the years numerous branch-and-bound procedures for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) have been developed. Enumerating delaying alternatives, extension alternatives, feasible posets, feasible sequences, feasible completion times or feasible subsets, they all...

Over the years numerous branch-and-bound procedures for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem have been developed. Enumerating delaying alternatives, extension alternatives, feasible posets, feasible sequences or feasible subsets, they all aim at finding as fast as possible...
