Authors: Luca Carrubbo; Emanuela Antonucci
Year: 2011

International crisis feedbacks weakened Italian agro-food production. Nevertheless, the industry reported excellent results with respect to the total industry and Campania attests as the first national agro-food production centre (ANICAV Report, [1]) In this specific agro-industrial sector, certain criticalities must be reported, such as product perishability, transportation problems, logistic difficulties imposed by retailing, and gaps between demand and supply.
 In order to evaluate and critically analyze the peculiarities of this business the paper adopts a system view based upon two scientific proposals, the Viable System Approach (VSA) and Service Science (SS). Through their conceptual proposition the paper investigates the agro-industrial sector, its synergies and actors relationships looking for collaborative networks (Barile and Polese [5]) in order to analyze possible implications in terms of Project Management (Iannuzzi, [12]; Saviano, [19]).

Authors: J. Berbegal‐Mirabent; Dolors Gil-Doménech; A. Manresa
Year: 2024

PurposeThis study addresses the challenge of integrating entrepreneurial competences development into the traditionally structured engineering curriculum, recognizing its potential contribution to job creation. Specifically, this study proposes a course design that intersects project management and entrepreneurial disciplines, adopting a challenge-based learning approach.Design/methodology/approachConsidering a list of common features that entrepreneurs and engineers—in the role of project managers—should excel at, and building upon the principles of experiential learning, this study proposes and describes a course design that is expected to help engineering students develop entrepreneurial competences. Through a series of assessment instruments and descriptive statistics, the study evaluates its implementation in a pilot test applied in a Project Management course at a Spanish university.FindingsThe results demonstrate a significant improvement in students' entrepreneurial competences after completing the course. Noteworthy variations in receptiveness to skill development among different personality profiles are observed. Gender differences are minimal, with the exception of women exhibiting heightened self-perception in the autonomy dimension.Originality/valueThis study explores the common features shared by two often-disconnected disciplines, namely engineering and entrepreneurship. It suggests that integrating both perspectives through a challenge-based course design can enhance entrepreneurial competences among engineering students without compromising the specific knowledge gained from engineering programs. Engaging students in such pedagogical experiences not only fosters entrepreneurial competences but also contributes to their professional and personal growth.

Construction Time-Cost Optimization Modeling Using Ant Colony Optimization
Authors: Mohammed Nooruldeen Azeez; A. Alsaffar
Year: 2023

In the field of construction project management, time and cost are the most important factors to be considered in planning every project, and their relationship is complex. The total cost for each project is the sum of the direct and indirect cost. Direct cost commonly represents labor, materials, equipment, etc.Indirect cost generally represents overhead cost such as supervision, administration, consultants, and interests. Direct cost grows at an increasing rate as the project time is reduced from its original planned time. However, indirect cost continues for the life of the project and any reduction in project time means a reduction in indirect cost. Therefore, there is a trade-off between the time and cost for completing construction activities.In this research, modeling of time-cost optimization, generating global optimum solution for time and cost problem, and lowering construction time and cost using ant colony optimization algorithm

Project Managers’ Practical Intelligence and Project Performance in Software Offshore Outsourcing: A Field Study
Authors: Nishtha Langer; S. Slaughter; Tridas Mukhopadhyay
Year: 2014

This study examines the role of project managers' PM practical intelligence PI in the performance of software offshore outsourcing projects. Based on the extant literature, we conceptualize PI for PMs as their capability to resolve project related work problems, given their long-range and short-range goals; PI is targeted at resolving unexpected and difficult situations, which often cannot be resolved using established processes and frameworks. We then draw on the information processing literature to argue that software offshore outsourcing projects are prone to severe information constraints that lead to unforeseen critical incidents that must be resolved adequately for the projects to succeed. We posit that PMs can use PI to effectively address and resolve such incidents, and therefore the level of PMs' PI positively affects project performance. We further theorize that project complexity and familiarity contribute to its information constraints and the likelihood of critical incidents in a project, thereby moderating the relationship between PMs' PI and project performance. 
 
To evaluate our hypotheses, we analyze longitudinal data collected in an in-depth field study of a leading software vendor organization in India. Our data include project and personnel level archival data on 530 projects completed by 209 PMs. We employ the critical incidents methodology to assess the PI of the PMs who led these projects. Our findings indicate that PMs' PI has a significant and positive impact on project performance. Further, projects with higher complexity or lower familiarity benefit even more from PMs' PI. Our study extends the literatures on project management and outsourcing by conceptualizing and measuring PMs' PI, by theorizing its relationship with project performance, and by positing how that relationship is moderated by project complexity and familiarity. Our study provides unique empirical evidence of the importance of PMs' PI in software offshore outsourcing projects. Given that PMs with high PI are scarce resources, our findings also have practical implications for the optimal resource allocation and training of PMs in software offshore services companies.

Managing Cost Salience and Procrastination in Projects: Compensation and Team Composition
Authors: Yaozhong Wu; Karthik Ramachandran; V. Krishnan
Year: 2012

The rising trend of projects with high‐skilled and autonomous contributors increasingly exposes managers to the risk of idiosyncratic individual behaviors. In this article, we examine the effects of an important behavioral factor, an individual's cost salience. Cost salience leads individuals to perceive the cost of immediate effort to be larger than the cost of future effort. This leads to procrastination in early stages and back‐loaded effort over the course of the project. We model the problem confronting the manager of a project whose quality is adversely impacted by such distortion of individual effort over time. Complementary to prior works focused on the planning and scheduling tasks of project management in the absence of human behavior, we find that managers should reward contributions made in earlier stages of a project. Our analysis also yields interesting insights on the project team performance: teams with diverse levels of cost salience will perform better than homogeneous teams. We also address another important facet of team composition, namely, the choice between stable and fluid teams, and find that the practice of creating fluid teams might have previously unrecognized benefits when behavioral aspects of projects are considered. We conclude with insights and organizational implications for project managers.

Developing an Industry-Focused Maturity Assessment Tool Based on Key Factors Critical to Quality and Success in FDA Human Factors Validation Projects – Overview
Authors: Katia M. Rojas
Year: 2020

This work is Phase II of a research theme on the topic of human factors validation projects for medical devices and combination products. Initially, a review and analysis of the persisting concerns and also of the implications of failed FDA HF validation projects took place. One main problem delineated was that key stakeholders (namely procurers and providers of HF services) are lacking the necessary tools to adapt to current and future demands of a changing and evolving quality system regulation (QSR). Under the QSR, manufacturers are responsible for the assessment and control of critical suppliers, such as HF service providers. However, there is a need for tools that enable integration and alignment so that stakeholders can develop the necessary capabilities. To increase the quality and success of HF validation projects and help HF service providers meet the QSR, an industry-focused project management (PM) maturity assessment tool was proposed. Phase I consisted of a survey that gathered interesting information to help understand practices and key success factors in FDA HF validation projects. This Phase II summarizes the method and process followed to develop the PM maturity assessment tool. An overview and description of the tool and its resulting components is also presented.

INSPIRING MANAGEMENT OF INNOVATIVE PROJECTS
Authors: S. Bushuyev; Sergiy Sukach; Victoria Bushuyeva
Year: 2022

The role and place of inspiring management in the management of projects for the
 creation of information technologies for the development of organizations is considered.
 A conceptual model of inspiring management in the processes of managing innovative
 projects based on entrepreneurial energy (enthalpy according to the law of
 thermodynamics) is presented. The impact of inspirational management on the life cycle
 of innovative projects regarding the development of knowledge and management
 technologies is determined. The key competences and priorities of the organization
 regarding the implementation of the sustainable development strategy are considered. In
 the process of research, two models of sustainable development were chosen based on the
 application of innovative projects. The first model defines three levels of creative
 competences – linear, literal and holistic. Within the limits of this model, the
 qualitative effects of individual competencies on the formation of inspiring management
 are defined on the example. The second model is related to the application of the system
 of knowledge and competencies for the management of innovative projects and P2M
 programs. Within this model, the priority competencies that form inspiring project
 management are defined. As part of the assessment, a model of the influence of inspiring
 management on inspiring intuition in the processes of implementing innovative projects
 and programs was built.
Case Study: Project Management Using Cross Project Software Reliability Growth Model
Authors: Kiyoshi Honda; Nobuhiro Nakamura; H. Washizaki; Y. Fukazawa
Year: 2016

We propose a method to compare software products developed by the same company in the same domain. Our method, which measures the time series of the number of detected faults, employs software reliability growth models (SRGMs). SRGMs describe the relations between faults and the time necessary to detect them. Although several researchers have studied cross project defect predictions to determine defect locations using the features of previous software product's code such as lines of codes and complexities, past works on SRGMs did not compare products or develop comparison methods. Herein we propose a method to compare SRGMs across products. To provide managers and developers insight on advances of its products, our method is applied to the datasets for nine projects developed by Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. SRGMs based on person hours are between 13% and 97% more precise than those based on calendar time.
