Disentangling Exploitation and Exploration in Hybrid Projects: The Case of a New Nuclear Reactor Development
Authors: Stéphanie Tillement; Frédéric Garcias; Guy Minguet; Florence Charue Duboc
Year: 2019

Using a qualitative research approach, this article addresses a gap in the project management literature that is the coexistence of exploitation and exploration learning dynamics within a single large-scale and complex project. We investigate the case of the New Sodium Fast Reactor (NewSFR) project, a large-scale, complex, and multi-actor project aimed at designing a new technology of nuclear reactor. Through a grounded, interpretive, and multilevel methodological approach, we characterize NewSFR as a hybrid project that combines high exploration and exploitation goals. We investigate the hybridizing process, which takes into account long-term temporal dynamics and interactions between two levels of analysis: the knowledge domains within the project and the project itself. This enables us to report three major contributions. First, at a macro-level, we highlight the ambiguity related to the difficulty for project members to agree on either exploratory or exploitative NewSFR status, which leads us to qualify it as a hybrid project. We then investigate the case dynamically and at a micro-level (i.e., the level of knowledge domains within the project). We emphasize the temporal processes underlying the hybridization, and how this hybridization evolves in time through two data-based concepts: deliberate exploration and emerging exploration. We identify and categorize the main drivers of deliberate and emerging exploration throughout the project, and highlight how these drivers affect project management processes. Finally, we discuss the issue of managing such hybrid projects.
Values in Energy Audit Projects (Ukraine case study)
Authors: O. Verenych; Dmytro Hudoshnyk
Year: 2020

Project success does not always depend on correctly used management methods and approaches. One of the main drivers of success is stakeholders. In order for stakeholders to contribute to the success of the project, it is necessary that their impact on the project, ideally, be positive, possibly neutral, and should not be negative in any way. Influence is based on the understanding and acceptance of the project mission, which is based on the understanding and acceptance of project values. It is the coincidence or convergence of project values and stakeholders that is one of the conditions for the implementation of the project. Such a coincidence of values appears in the blended mental space of the project, formed by the project manager for the project success. The formation of a space of general (or accepted) values is possible only if the values of the project and stakeholders can be compared. And for this, it is necessary to have a profile of the project’s values and compare it with the stakeholders’ values. One of the methodologies that are based on the values approach is P2M methodology, which was created in the Japan Project Management Association. In the frame of the methodology, the approach for project values profiling is presented. Using the approach the energy audit projects’ values were evaluated. The article is been presented the result of values profiling of energy audit projects implemented in Ukraine.
A Comprehensive Analysis of Monitoring and Control Mechanisms in Operational Relocation Project at Limkokwing University, Botswana
Authors: Lenah Cleo Kelepile
Year: 2024

The analysis of project monitoring and control processes holds paramount significance in project management and delivery, attracting considerable attention within academic discourse. The study explores the intricacies of project monitoring and control, particularly in the context of operational relocation at Limkokwing University of Creative Technology Botswana. The study employs a comprehensive survey methodology, encompassing all project team members and university management, stratified by department, and tasked with responding to structured questionnaire items. Analysis of the gathered data unveils proficient performance in project monitoring and control, underscored by systematic reviews of project progress and interface oversight. Based on the insights gleaned from this investigation, the study urgently recommends the establishment of a specialized monitoring and control unit or function within the university’s organizational framework. This is not just a suggestion, but a crucial step to address developmental exigencies or challenges, and to enhance the prospects of successful project outcomes. However, the study also identified certain barriers to success, including inadequate staff coordination, a need for more skilled personnel with requisite experience, and resistance to organizational change. Therefore, further research is necessary to refine and optimize the efficacy of monitoring and control processes, taking into account these key factors.
Difficulties in Applying Lean Construction Principles within Afghanistan's Construction Sector
Authors: Ehsanullah Shaheedmal Omari
Year: 2023

This study proposes that the Lean concept, which focuses on efficient project management and waste reduction, could be optimal for construction practices in Afghanistan. However, there are challenges in transitioning to Lean construction in the Afghan construction industry, including limited access to official training and awareness among project managers and coworkers, a lack of understanding about Lean concepts, reluctance to change due to existing managerial experience, and resistance to new methods. Very few organizations have some knowledge of the lean concept, but that is not adequate for them to implement it; the managers’ experience limits the usage of the lean method within the organizations. Moreover, the data indicated that the lean construction method is negligible. As well as absence of related knowledge and understanding of the lean concept, many organizations showed to be reluctant towards making any change, even if these changes will predominantly increase performance and better the quality and production standards of their organization. The accumulated data suggests that organizations have resisted the new tools and techniques provided by the lean construction philosophy and in some cases, it is not suitable and applicable to their organization. The study identifies four major challenges to a successful transition to Lean construction in Afghanistan: the state of war and lack of security, inadequate awareness and acknowledgment of Lean, cultural and human attitudes, and senior management's obligations.

Abstract Objectives  Integrating genetic test results into the electronic health record (EHR) is essential for integrating genetic testing into clinical practice. This article describes the organizational challenges of integrating discrete apolipoprotein L1 ( APOL1 ) genetic test results into the EHR for a research study on culturally sensitive genetic counseling for living kidney donors. Methods  We convened a multidisciplinary team across three institutions (Northwestern University, Northwestern Memorial HealthCare [NMHC], and OHSU Knight Diagnostic Laboratories [KDL]), including researchers, physicians, clinical information technology, and project management. Through a series of meetings over a year between the team and the genetic testing laboratory, we explored and adjusted our EHR integration plan based on regulatory and budgetary constraints. Results  Our original proposal was to transmit results from KDL to NMHC as structured data sent via Health Level Seven (HL7) v2 message. This was ultimately deemed infeasible given the time and resources required to establish the interface, and the low number of samples to be processed for the study ( n  = 316). We next explored the use of Epic's Care Everywhere interoperability platform, but learned it was not possible as a laboratory test ordered for a research study; even though our intent was to study the APOL1 genetic test result's clinical use and impact, test results were still considered “research results.” Faced with two remaining options—downloading a PDF from the KDL laboratory portal or scanning a faxed result from KDL—only a PDF of the APOL1 test result could be integrated into the EHR, reinforcing the status quo. Conclusion  Even with early and ongoing stakeholder engagement, dedicated project management, and funding, unanticipated implementation challenges—especially for research projects—can result in drastic design tradeoffs.
Strategic Management of R&D Pipelines with Cospecialized Investments and Technology Markets
Authors: T. Chan; J. Nickerson; Hideo Owan
Year: 2007

The theoretical literature on managing R&D pipelines is largely based on real option theory making decisions about undertaking, continuing, or terminating projects. The theory typically assumes that each project or causally related set of projects is independent. However, casual observation suggests that firms expend much effort on managing and balancing their R&D pipelines, where managing appears to be related to the choice of R&D selection thresholds, project risk, and whether to buy or sell projects to fill the pipeline. Not only do these policies appear to differ across firms, they also appear to vary over time for the same firm. Changes in management policies suggest that the choice of R&D selection thresholds is a time-varying strategic decision and there may be some type of vertical interdependency among R&D projects in different stages. In this paper we develop a model using dynamic-programming techniques that explain why firms vary in their R&D project-management policies. The novelty and value of our model derives from the central insight that some firms invest in downstream cospecialized activities that would incur substantial adjustment costs if R&D efforts are unsuccessful whereas other firms have no such investment. If transaction costs in technology markets are positive, which implies that accessing the market for projects is costly, these investments lead to state-contingent project-selection rules that create a dynamic and vertical interdependency among R&D activities and product mix. We describe how choices of R&D selection thresholds, preferences over project risk, and use of technology markets for the buying and selling of projects differ by the state of the firm's pipeline, the magnitude of transaction costs in the adjustment market, and the magnitude of technology costs. These results yield interesting managerial and public policy implications.

Authors: M. Ivlev; D. Ryabov
Year: 2024

The article is devoted to the development of a mechanism for the efficient use of available resources of the organiza-tional system (OS) of a manufacturing enterprise with a cascade model of the production life cycle, in the context of the need to promptly increase the volume of manufactured products and reduce the time of delivery of products to the customer. Object of study: mechanism of resource management of the OS. Subject of study: formal aspects of this mechanism that help reduce the risk of making irrational heuristic decisions. Purpose of study: development of a for-mal-ized description of an effective mechanism of resource management of the OS. Methods: resource and process approach to management, project management and analogy method, methods and means of schematic modeling of electronic means. Main results and their significance: for individual business processes and the entire production cycle, based on the introduced components, formalized diagrams of the mechanism of optimal resource management of the OS were constructed, which made it possible, based on their application, to increase the efficiency of using the availa-ble re-sources of the enterprise and increase the output (rate of production) of its final products. Limitations of the de-veloped approach are shown.

Comparing Between Web Application Effort Estimation Methods
Authors: M. Moayed; A. Ghani; Mojtaba Seyedzadegan
Year: 2007

Effort estimation consist in predict how many hours of work and how many workers are needed to develop a project. This is important in the process of project management. As far as estimation and prediction are concerned there are still a number of unsolved problems and errors. To obtain good results it is essential to take into consideration any previous projects. Estimation the project manager has not yet been solved and even the project manager has to deal with it since the beginning. Measurement can play a significant role in the effective management and development of Web applications. It provides the scientific basis for Web engineering to become true engineering discipline effective Web project estimation is one of the most important activities in Web development. Proper project planning and control is not possible without a sound and reliable estimate. Although estimating the effort required in developing Web applications is a difficult task, accurate estimates of development effort have an important role to play in the successful management of Web development projects. This paper is a review about Web effort estimation entities, attributes, and methods from the other earlier researches and at last compare these methods to each other.
Simulating Experiential Learning in Professional Online Courses
Authors: Susan Gasson; Jim Waters
Year: 2018

Few studies have explored how to simulate the experiential learning of professional knowledge domains in online graduate courses. This paper addresses how to provide the type of deep, socially situated learning that is achieved in professional practice by employing peer and vicarious learning in discussion forums. We start by describing what we have learned about scaffolding peer learning environments from prior studies. We distinguish vicarious learning, which exposes and sensitizes students to situated knowledge based on observation of peer discussions, from peer interactions which engage students actively in co-constructing knowledge about professional practice. Then we present findings from a 10-week graduate course in Information Systems Project Management. Our findings present evidence for vicarious learning from observing peer interactions, and of interactive peer learning that not only demonstrates the co-construction of knowledge across learners but also uncovers a collaborative process based on a sense of community identity. We end with a substantive theory of social cognition in community learning based on our findings. The intention is to provide a framework for the evaluation of collaborative knowledge construction, so that courses may support deep, experiential learning in graduate online professional education.

Authors: Longjun Huang; Li-pin Dai; Bin Guo; Gang Lei
Year: 2008

Software project management is a sub-discipline of project management in which software projects are planned, monitored and controlled. The software project management course has become the core curriculum of many software Institutes. However, because it is one of the management courses, it has strong practicality. But students lack the background of project practice, which leads to a bad teaching effect. In this work, it presents a teaching mode based on project-driven for software project management course, and describes it from the aspects of training objectives, training mode, teaching cases, teaching process, teaching content, team formation, and assessment mechanism. And finally it provides a summary and analysis of the characteristics of this teaching mode as well as the effect of the curriculum practice. The practices results show that it is a feasible teaching mode for software project management course.

Authors: Angga Riski Ramadan; Agus Junaidi; M. A. Azis
Year: 2023

The KAI Commuter Employee Development application is a solution to support employee development in the PT environment. Indonesian Commuter Train. The development method used in this project is the Waterfall Method, which is a sequential approach consisting of clear phases, including planning, analysis, design, development, testing, and implementation. This application aims to increase effectiveness and efficiency in the management and development of employees in the company. With features such as performance tracking, training, employee evaluation, and creating personal development plans, this application provides a powerful tool for management to monitor and improve the potential of their employees. The development process using the Waterfall Method allows developers to carefully detail requirements before starting the stage implementation. This ensures the application can meet predefined requirements well throughout the development cycle. In addition, this model allows for more structured progress monitoring and enables more efficient project management. By adopting the KAI Commuter Employee Development application and implementing the Waterfall Method, companies can develop their employees, increase productivity, and optimize resources for their humans.
Examining The Work Experience of Programmers with Visual Impairments
Authors: Earl W. Huff; Kwajo Boateng; Makayla Moster; Paige Rodeghero; Julian Brinkley
Year: 2020

The rapid rise and ubiquity of computing has led to tremendous growth in the field of software development; growth that has outpaced society’s ability to fill available positions. The gap between this large number of openings and the decidedly smaller pool of qualified candidates available to fill them has created opportunities for individuals from non-traditional backgrounds to pursue careers in software development. Due to the nature of their disability, blind and low vision persons have not to date been heavily pursued as candidates for software development positions given the arguably visually demanding nature of the practice. As such, we argue, there are significant knowledge gaps as it pertains to how visual impairment may impact a developer’s contribution to a software development team. To explore this issue we interviewed 11 visually impaired software developers about their experiences. Our findings suggest that workplace dynamics, project management practices, and tool accessibility are among the most significant challenges for these developers. We argue that this work furthers the understanding of visually impaired software developers which contributes to the movement towards accessible workplace environments and employment equity in software development.
Data mining process model for marketing and CRM
Authors: Ding Pan
Year: 2010

The role of data mining has become increasingly important for organizational marketing that has large databases of information on customers. The data mining researchers have presented various mining algorithms to extract patterns in data for successful CRM approach. The traditional dominant KDD process model offers valuable guidance on the projected-management oriented stages, with no relevant mechanism to provide guidance in the crucial issue of business understanding, model selection and known knowledge integration. The requirements of continuous data mining process for marketing and CRM environment are described, and then a novel integrative framework for knowledge discovery process is proposed, and a knowledge conceptual hierarchy to characterize the process operation features and interrelations is discussed.
