A Video Game for Entrepreneurship Learning in Ecuador: Development Study
Authors: Esteban Crespo-Martínez; Mba Salvador Bueno; PhD M Dolores Gallego
Year: 2023

Background Games have been a part of human life since ancient times and are taught to children and adults who want to simultaneously have fun and learn. Nevertheless, in the third decade of this century, technology invites us to consider using video games to learn topics such as entrepreneurship. However, developing a serious game (SG) is difficult because everyone who forms part of the game development team requires adequate learning resources to acquire the necessary information and improve their game development skills. Objective This work aimed to detail the experience gained in developing ATIC (Aprende, Trabaja, Innova, Conquista [learn, work, innovate, conquer]), an SG proposed for teaching and learning entrepreneurship. Methods To develop a videogame, first, we established a game development team formed by professors, professionals, and students who have different roles in this project. Scrum was adopted as a project management method. To create concept art for the video game, designers collected ideas from various games, known as “getting references.” In contrast, narratology considers the life of a recent university graduate immersed in real life, considering locations, characteristics, and representative characters from an essential city of Ecuador Results In a Unity 3D video game in ATIC, the life of a university student who graduates and ventures into a world full of opportunities, barriers, and risks, where the player needs to make decisions, is simulated. The art of this video game, including sounds and music, is based on the landscape and characteristics of and characters from Cuenca, Ecuador. The game aims to teach entrepreneurs the mechanisms and processes to form their businesses. Thus, we developed the following elements of an SG: (1) world, (2) objects, (3) agents, and (4) events. Conclusions The narrative, mechanics, and art of video games are relevant. However, project management tools such as leaderboards and appointments are crucial to influencing individuals’ decision to continue to play, or not play, an SG. Developing a serious video game is not an easy task. It was essential to consider many factors, such as the video game audience, needs of learning, context, similarities with the real world, narrative, game mechanics, game art, and game sounds. However, overall, the primary purpose of a serious video game is to transmit knowledge in a fun way and to give adequate and timely feedback to the gamer. Finally, nothing is possible if the members of game development team are not satisfied with the project and not clear about their roles.

As the complexity of daily tasks grows, knowledge workers experience challenges in managing tasks and risk skipping over some. Fortunately, various task management tools have become available, ranging from traditional tools, such as sticky notes, to complex project management software. In this exploratory study, we aim to understand the landscape of task management tools that knowledge workers use and identify the value they seek from such tools. In addition, we investigate how such value relates to workers’ personality traits and job characteristics. For this purpose, we conducted a series of formative studies and an online survey (N = 248) to evaluate the perceived importance of various attributes of task-management tools, followed by an exploratory factor analysis to identify the latent structure within that. This process revealed six underlying dimensions for task management tools: communicability, structure, portability, adaptability, physicality, and visualizability. Applying regression analysis, we found connections between latent dimensions and both personality traits and job characteristics. Our findings inform the design of future task management tools with guidance on choosing features and functionality that will meet the needs of their target populations.

Authors: Jau-Ji Shen; S. Changchien; Tao Lin
Year: 2005

The rapid growth in demand on information systems and the uncertainties associated with the development process for such systems has revealed problems such as inappropriate human resource management, poor quality, and serious delay. Traditional project management approaches emphasize the importance of scheduling, while careful allocation of resources across projects is critical and has a direct influence on the project quality and time management. According to the report on Concurrent Engineering (CE) implementation, it has significantly improved the time to market, quality, costs, etc. in the manufacturing industry. This research attempts to introduce the philosophy of CE into software project management and proposes a Concurrent Project Modeling Method (CPM-M) to realize concurrent software engineering tasks. CPM-M consists of two components: Concurrent Information Sharing Framework (CISF) and Concurrent Project Modeling Diagram (CPM-D). The CISF is a conceptual framework that facilitates concurrent cross-functional sharing of information among product, activity and resource pools, while the CPM-D inherits capability from the Petri Net and further expands so as to guide the project management by simultaneously considering the three pools at each decision point of the development process. The proposed approach was illustrated and simulated on the development of a web-based campaign system for the marketing division of a bank.

The selection of contractors for the project is one of the important tasks faced by the client such as developers and government agencies. To ensure that the client has selected a reliable contractor which has a good previous record, the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Malaysia has established one program named SCORE by assessing seven (7) scopes of assessment which are business performance, financial capability, technical capability, project management, procurement management, best practices, and management ability. Thus, this study was done to assess the level of capability and adaptability of Malaysian contractors in the business management aspect (Scope 1). This study adopted a mixed methodology involving quantitative through secondary data and qualitative research methods through interviews. The data collected for this study is through secondary data from CIDB’S database which cover from the year 2017 until 2021. Besides that, a series of interview sessions were done to find out further suggestions for the improvement of Malaysian contractors. The findings have shown that business performance among Malaysian contractors is one of the lowest scores as compared to other scopes. Thus, this study has proposed several suggestions to increase the performance of Malaysian contractors, especially in business performance such as holding awareness programs and coaching programs.
Factors Affecting ERP System Implementation Among Selected Organizations: A Proposed Operational Strategies
Authors: Princess Frinley Alou Talastas Gandia
Year: 2024

The successful implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems relies heavily on the interplay between management-specific factors and operational-specific factors. This study investigates these critical success factors, focusing on their impact on organizational performance. Management-specific factors, including top management support, package selection, and organizational fit, provide strategic direction and resources, ensuring alignment with operational goals. The research employed a quantitative approach to gather data from employees of selected organizations that have implemented ERP systems. The survey targeted employees from selected organizations who use ERP systems. The responses were analyzed using statistical techniques such as frequency analysis, mean, standard deviation, Spearman’s rank correlation, and multiple regression to identify the relationships and impacts of various CSFs on ERP implementation success. The study reveals that effective project management significantly enhances package selection, while comprehensive training improves organizational fit. Communication emerges as a pivotal element, influencing all aspects of ERP implementation. These findings underscore the necessity for a balanced approach that integrates both management and operational strategies to achieve optimal ERP outcomes and organizational efficiency.

Authors: Eugene Levner; V. Kats; Pengyu Yan; Ada Che
Year: 2024

High-throughput screening systems are robotic cells that automatically scan and analyze thousands of biochemical samples and reagents in real time. The problem under consideration is to find an optimal cyclic schedule of robot moves that ensures maximum cell performance. To address this issue, we proposed a new efficient version of the parametric PERT/CPM project management method that works in conjunction with a combinatorial subalgorithm capable of rejecting unfeasible schedules. The main result obtained is that the new fast PERT/CPM method finds optimal robust schedules for solving large size problems in strongly polynomial time, which cannot be achieved using existing algorithms.

BACKGROUND
There are several leadership training programs for health researchers in India. However, there is a need to develop context-tailored leadership and mentoring approaches.


OBJECTIVE
The objective of the study is to critically analyze the available leadership training programs in India for health researchers and service providers, for the leadership domains incorporated and overall training approaches.


MATERIALS AND METHODS
We used an exploratory-descriptive design to identify and review leadership training programs for health researchers and service providers/managers that had been offered by Indian institutions between 2013 and 2018. Our analytic approach was based on "transformational leadership" and "leader-member exchange" theories of leadership, curricula of popular leadership training programs worldwide, and the International Clinical Epidemiology Network model for leadership in health research in India based on a nationwide primary study.


RESULTS
We identified and reviewed 20 leadership training programs. These were heterogeneous in aim, scope (broad-based/thematic), course content, design, target participants and class profile, mode of delivery and training method, duration, frequency, and fund arrangements. The programs infrequently included topics on soft skills, mentoring, risk mitigation, collaboration for research, funding dynamics, institutional transformation, self-view and peer perception, and personal well-being. The programs insufficiently addressed contextual challenges of career exploration and risk mitigation, project management, strategic planning, and decision-making, ethics and integrity, negotiations, networking and collaboration, understanding funding dynamics, and mentoring. Only three programs linked to the training to the participants' ecosystem.


CONCLUSIONS
There is a need to develop customized course contents and training strategies that address the requirements of the local context vis-à-vis globally connected research ecosystems.
Teaching Risk with Virtual Worlds - Experience and Lessons Learnd in Second Life and Other Virtual Worlds
Authors: M. Conrad
Year: 2013

We discuss and demonstrate how Virtual Worlds available at the University of Bedfordshire have been used to teach Project Management using a ‘situated learning’ approach. In particular we have a closer look on the aspect of teaching risk management and identify how different aspects of risk are addressed in a variety of implementations of Virtual Worlds, namely Second Life, a Virtual World provided by an external provider, not Linden Lab, a Virtual World that is maintained ‘in-house’ and a Virtual World hosted by the students themselves. We note that the student experience of risk is different in each of these incarnations of a Virtual World which impacts their perception of risk and hence the effects this has concerning the teaching goals.

Authors: M. Dombrowski; Z. Dombrowski; Jacek Woloszyn; A. Sachenko; O. Sachenko; Inna Melnychuk
Year: 2021

The development of digitalization processes, make them too complex and creates problems for managing such projects. We assume that project management problems are associated with hidden threats to the timely completion of individual tasks and, accordingly, projects as a whole and the ability to adequately address this problem due to limited project resources. An adaptive method for improving decision-making in project management based on specifying the causes of errors in changing the process parameters and / or changing resource is substantiated. To reduce uncertainty, an information model of the dynamic state of project work and resources is formed, on the basis of which decisions are made taking into account the assumptions about losses that may be incurred by the project owner, managing at every step.
The role of effective relationship management in successful large oil and gas projects
Authors: R. Handfield; M. Primo; Marcos Paulo Valadares de Oliveira
Year: 2015

Project success has been a central topic in the project management literature. The high volatility attended with oil and gas upstream projects has enhanced the need for relational contracting approaches. Successful Large International Engineering and Construction Projects can deliver value to project parties (clients, sponsors, contractors, subcontractors, etc.) and other stakeholders (users, investors, communities affected by the project, etc.) in the project supply chain. Supply chain and procurement strategies play a significant role in project success, due to their impact on project value and on the way project risks are managed. In this study, we review insights gleaned from 13 oil and gas senior procurement executives, from which we derive a set of propositions and some preliminary results related to the success of these elements. In general, we find that relationship management plays a critical role in the outcomes associated with oil and gas project success. Procurement relationship management practices affect the way the needs of project stakeholders outside the contract (users, suppliers, communities affected by the project, etc.) are attended as well as the way project relationships are managed inside and outside project teams. As a result, those strategies are also related to important drivers of project success, such as relationship and stakeholder management.

Authors: Oleksandr Voitenko; Lyudmila Chernova; L. Chernova; A. Timinsky
Year: 2021

The problem of describing the basic model of maturity growth in project management is proposed. Models of maturity in project management are analyzed. The impact on the level of maturity of four types of models (competence, cognitive, foresight, and bi-adaptive) was studied. Classification of stages of maturity is offered as a part of a preparatory, backbone, and advanced stage. A 4K model of organizational project management maturity growth is proposed. The influence of key elements of the 4K model on each level of maturity is considered. It is determined that competence and cognitive models are more important for achieving the preparatory and backbone maturity stage, for the advanced stage - foresight and bi-adaptive models. The principles of implementation of the 4K model have been identified. The results of an experimental study of the influence of the 4K model on the development of maturity are presented. SWOT analysis of the proposed approach was performed. The expediency of using the 4K model to increase the maturity of project-oriented companies is justified. Areas of further research in the chosen direction are identified.

Background: Results published from the E-MOTIVE trial concluded that for women undergoing vaginal delivery, early detection of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), combined with bundled treatment of PPH, reduced severe PPH and associated adverse outcomes. Eighty hospitals across Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, and South Africa and over 210,000 women participated in the randomized trial, which was designed to assess the effect of implementing the E-MOTIVE intervention to detect and treat PPH. The results showed that the use of calibrated collection drapes dramatically increased the PPH detection rate, from 51% to 93%, and the use of the WHO-recommended bundle of treatments, from 19% to 91%. Moreover, implementing the E-MOTIVE approach to treat PPH resulted in a 60% reduction in severe PPH. The median blood loss, the need for postpartum blood transfusion, and the number of maternal deaths were also reduced. The E-MOTIVE trial trained a pool of PPH champions across the intervention facilities, including nurses, midwives, medical officers, and obstetrics and gynecology specialists. Their roles were to coordinate the training and practice activities of all relevant labor ward staff in their hospitals, observe labor ward staff practices, and provide specific feedback for targeted improvements in implementing the E-MOTIVE bundle correctly by reviewing regular performance indicators and outcome data from their hospitals to assess if improvements were needed.
Methods: After the study findings, the Kenyan hub team continued tracking the performance of the facilities after the trial, without any active support. The PPH champions collected, discussed at the facility level, and shared data with the Kenyan hub team monthly. The data shared were included in the hub Project Management Information System and triangulated with data from DHIS, where it was analyzed by the Kenyan study team, and feedback was shared at the facility level.
Results: Data analyzed from the last quarter (September-November) showed that seven E-MOTIVE implementing facilities maintained 5% PPH rates (blood loss >500 mls) and 2% severe PPH rates on moving averages. All components of the E-MOTIVE bundle were provided 100% to all PPH cases detected. During the same period, three maternal deaths were reported that had causes other than bleeding from PPH.
Conclusion: Having PPH champions community of practice can help sustain best practices in the early detection and treatment of PPH beyond any project lifeline. It is a simple and cost-effective method that can prevent severe PPH and prevent maternal mortality arising from PPH.

This paper proposes an approach to apply best practices in the preparation for the Sarbanes-Oxley assessments. The information technology project manager is seen as a valued leader in the organization [3]. They can be uniquely successful in understanding what will directly influence the decisions of the business leadership team.The information technology organization recognizes that it must allow the auditors, outsourcers, and business implementers the flexibility to use innovative, streamlined best practices when applicable throughout the preparation for the Sarbanes-Oxley assessment. The success of any effort is largely dependent upon how well it is organized.
An Empirical Study on the use of Project Management Tools and Techniques across Project Life-Cycle and their Impact on Project Success
Authors: P. Patanakul; Boonkiart Iewwongcharoen; D. Milosevic
Year: 2010

Even though project management tools and techniques (PMTT) have been commonly used by project managers, research on PMTT still has not been adequately investigated as to whether its use contributes to the success of a project. The lack of such knowledge leads to the use of PMTT because of popularity rather than any known benefits. To respond to this issue, the authors conducted a large-sample study based on a survey and statistical analyses to investigate the use of PMTT. Evidence emerged that some PMTT should be used in a certain phase of a project and such uses contribute to project success.
