Achieving sustainable development for managers and urban planning requires a systemic attitude to various urban issues and phenomena and a comprehensive urban development cannot be obtained with a single-dimensional perspective. Hence, in implementing various urban projects, it is necessary to examine the interactions of these projects with the surrounding environment and to assess their impact...

the research on project scheduling has widely expanded over the last few decades. the vast majority of these research efforts focus on exact and suboptimal procedures for constructing a workable schedule, assuming complete information and a static deterministic problem environment. project activities are scheduled subject to both technological precedence constraints and resource constraints, mo...

Control transmission represents a central problem in any type of organization. However, while prior research has extensively studied the factors influencing the choice of control modes as well as the effects and dynamics of control, the transmission of control from controller to controllee has been largely neglected in the project control literature. Our study addresses this gap by examining in...

every year, for realizing the goals of five-year state civil development plan, a great part of state credits and financial resources are spent for investment in national projects, whilst most of national projects are performed with considerable delay. essential objectives of applying this research is design and explanaion of national projects managers’ competencies model, focusing on risk that ...

What behavioral competencies do experienced IT project managers apply when facing critical situations in their projects, and how have they developed those competencies? In this paper, the authors answer these questions. The authors interviewed 23 experienced IT project managers from 11 organizations, focusing on critical situations that they now managed differently from their earlier, novice, p...

one of the most effective tools for decline cost and time, quality improvement and consequently project performance enhancement especially in construction projects, is value engineering. there are linguistic judgments in many cases of value engineering studies in construction projects such as interior design, mechanical installations design, and etc. therefore multiple attribute decision-making...

The chapter reports on the use of knowledge process learning, articulation and sharing technologies developed in the ACTIVE project for increasing the performance and decreasing the ramp-up efforts of knowledge workers in engineering design projects. Attention is paid to the specific characteristics of knowledge processes in microelectronic engineering design, of which one of the most important...
