Full textThis research was motivated by a practical problem with potential theoretical contributions. The problem in hand is the difficulty to generate value in complex construction projects, a problem observed in a large urban regeneration programme in Porto Alegre. Past research indicate that in the last decades there was an increase in project complexity, posing challenges to traditional managerial practices. According to some authors, such complexity is partially due to an increasing concern to understand how project’s outputs contribute to generating change and delivering benefits to different stakeholder groups. Within this context, the lack of managerial support provided by traditional project management approaches is pointed out. Firstly because such approaches generally focus on the delivery of a physical product, within time and budget. Secondly, they do not provide support for dealing with the conflicting interests of multiple stakeholders. And thirdly because they do not properly consider that projects are susceptible to their economic, social and political context and subject to changes in such environment. In this research, two managerial approaches that are being used in the construction industry were identified as having potential contributions to improve value generation in complex projects: the Benefits Realisation Approach (BeReal) and the Lean Project Delivery System (LPDS). The literature available about these approaches is mainly prescriptive. Thus, there is still a need to understand why and how such approaches contribute for value generation. A third approach, the Logical Framework Approach (LFA) used where the problem was identified, was also analysed, as the literature suggests it also offers contributions to deal with some aspects of complexity. This research followed a Design Science Research process: finding a practical problem with potential theoretical contributions, framing the problem and searching for potential solutions, understanding how and why the solutions contribute for solving the problem and analyse the theoretical contributions of the solutions. In this study, emphasis was given to the evaluation of potential solutions identified. Three empirical cases were realised: the first one was in a urban regeneration programme in Brazil, aiming to understand the problem; the second was realised in a healthcare infrastructure programme in the UK, to analyse the adoption of BeReal; and the third in a healthcare infrastructure programme in the US, to analyse the adoption of LPDS. The three studies presented different managerial contributions to support value generation. Such contributions are analysed based on a conceptual framework that was devised. The model reveals the underlying concepts of observed managerial practices that contribute towards the improvement of value generation.

Full textTras la Segunda Guerra mundial, la investigación científica se ha organizado mediante proyectos y ha sido dirigida utilizando los métodos habituales de la Gestión de Proyectos (Project Management). Estos métodos ofrecen importantes ventajas pero tienen algunas limitaciones. La presente tesis doctoral explora la tensión entre creatividad y productividad cuando se dirige la investigación científica con los métodos propios de la Gestión de Proyectos. Y de forma más general, resalta la función del juicio creativo en la ejecución de proyectos cuyas operaciones están claramente especificadas y determinan el desarrollo del proyecto. El propósito de la Gestión de Proyectos es controlar y coordinar el proyecto de forma racional, lo que supone especificar de forma precisa su objetivo y el alcance de sus operaciones. Estos requisitos no se cumplen en proyectos cuyo objetivo es ambiguo y requiere creatividad. El concepto fenomenológico de proyecto mental desarrollado por Alfred Schutz es flexible y su aplicación amplía los aspectos técnicos de la Gestión de Proyectos. Su teoría de la acción intencional supone que cada acción cambia el estado presente de las cosas y está compuesta de un propósito, un proyecto mental que es un ensayo del acto futuro, y el desempeño del acto. Entonces introduce el concepto de subacción y el enfoque crítico de que toda acción repetida es una acción nueva, similar a una acción previamente desempeñada. Este trabajo de investigación enfatiza que los aspectos siguientes, presentes en la gestión de proyectos, requieren de juicio, y que por ello posibilitan espacios para la creatividad. Primero, que el proyecto mental de una nueva acción se crea combinando varias sub-acciones ya desempeñadas. Segundo, la comprensión de que cada acción es a lo sumo similar a otras acciones ya desempeñadas. Y tercero, que el proyecto mental puede ser considerado como una hipótesis de lo que ocurrirá cuando se ejecute la acción. El juicio se ocupa de estas semejanzas y advierte al actor de otros temas y desarrollos posibles. Adicionalmente, este trabajo introduce una perspectiva nueva del concepto de rutina, de su evolución y de su papel en la investigación científica, y descubre la profunda relación entre retórica y juicio. La investigación empírica está asociada al contexto de una importante infraestructura científica española, el Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC). Y expone, en primer lugar, la creación de esta organización científica, permitiendo presentar algunos aspectos importantes sobre la tensión entre la estructura organizativa y la agencia de los investigadores. Seguidamente desarrolla los temas relacionados con la tensión entre creatividad y productividad en la ejecución de proyectos y desarrollados en el marco conceptual, como sean la noción de proyecto que tengan los investigadores o la implicación del juicio en la ejecución de sus proyectos. La aportación de esta tesis doctoral, en cuanto a la gestión científica y de proyectos, extiende la gestión de proyectos que ofrecen los métodos habituales de la Gestión de Proyectos (Project Management).
Since World War II, science and research has been organized into projects and managed using the methods of Project Management. These methods offer important advantages, but also have some limitations. This doctoral dissertation presents some basic contributions to the subject of the tension between creativity and productivity in managing research with the methods of Project Management, and, more generally, the subject of the function of creative judgment in the execution of precisely specified projects in any kind of activity, which seem to determine all the operations involved in the development of a project. Project Management aims to rationally controlling and coordinating a project, which involves the clear specification of its goal and operations. These requirements are not fulfilled when dealing with projects whose goal is ambiguous and they require creativity. The phenomenological notion of mental project developed by Alfred Schutz is more flexible and its application extends the technical aspect of Project Management. His theory considers that each intentional action changes the present state of affairs and involves a purpose, a mental project that is a mental rehearsal of a future act, and the performance of the act. He also introduces, the notion of subactions and the critical view that a repeated action is a new action similar to an already performed action. The doctoral research emphasizes that the following aspects of project management involve judgment, creating spaces for creativity to occur: first, the mental project of a new action can be created combining many subactions already performed. Second, the recognition that an action has similarities and differences with already performed actions. Third, the mental project can be considered as a hypothesis about what will happen in the execution of the act. Judgment deals with these differences and it makes the actor aware of other possible subjects and developments. The conceptual research, also introduces a new way of looking at routines, their evolution and their role in scientific research. In this line of thought, it uncovers the deep relationship between rhetoric and judgment. The empirical research is associated to the context of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), an important Spanish research infrastructure. And it firstly develops a case study on the creation of this research organization that allows presenting some important aspects about the tension between the structure of the organization and the agency of the researchers. It then develops the subjects related to the tension between creativity and productivity in executing projects, developed in the conceptual framework, such as the notion of projects of the researchers and the judgment involved in the execution of their projects. The contribution of this doctoral dissertation, in managing research institutions and projects, extends the way of managing projects with the common methods of Project Management.

Full textIn the early 1990s, a new model emerged for the provision of electricity generation across developing regions. The model involved private sector participation in the form of independent power projects (IPP). Driving this change in business was insufficient public finance from host country governments, a reduction in concessionary loans from multilateral and bilateral development institutions, and a push for improved efficiency in a state-owned utility sector that was considered to be underperforming. This dissertation reviews how IPPs developed across both North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa. The analysis focuses on the extent to which positive development outcomes (viz. reliable and affordable power) and investment outcomes (viz. favourable investment returns and the opportunity to grow investments) were both achieved. The dissertation posits that balancing development and investment outcomes leads to greater sustainability for projects. It further explores a range of elements that contribute to the success of projects, namely: the investment climate; policy, regulatory and planning frameworks; competitive procurement practices; availability of competitively procured fuel; favourable debt and equity arrangements, including new trends in the nature of IPP firms and credit enhancement arrangements; and new risk management techniques. In-depth case studies of IPP experiences in Egypt, Kenya and Tanzania are used to explore the question of balancing outcomes and sustainability. Reviews of IPP experiences in Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Morocco, Nigeria and Tunisia also supplement the analysis together with an evaluation of the foreign direct investment context and related theory. Framing the whole discussion is an examination of how the new model for electric power provision evolved and how power sector reform models need to be adjusted to better reflect the reality in developing countries and emerging economies.

Nowadays studies confirm that changes continue to occur in project management in both the practitioner and research fields. Organizations increasingly use projects and project management discipline to achieve business objectives but results often fall short of goals. Although project management has become a core business process for many organizations at strategic and operational level, there is still much to understand about project actuality in software development organizations. Besides, much is written about how to manage projects, but too little on what really happens in Project Actuality. Project Actuality debut in the Rethinking Project Management (RPM) agenda in 2006 aiming at understanding what really happens at project context. This research intends to understand, explain and explore this phenomenon. In order to understand the challenges faced by software project nowadays, we have to go beyond the triple constant (effort, cost and scope), its processes and technology. In pursuance of project management we must understand team’s context, routine, problems, organizational culture, the entire project actuality phenomenon. Traditional theories used to understand and explain the world of management make different assumptions about actuality, scientific knowledge, ethics, values and context. This research’s main objective is to create an approach to investigate, observe and analyze software project actuality and to support team reflection and project rethinking, and by using the approach, unveil the findings of six small software development organizations. The finding will give visibility on project actuality in six organizations, its projects and teams. Even though the findings are context dependent, some causes, effects, disturbance factors can help the understanding of this sector and assist researches and practitioners to see new ways of thinking project management. In order to achieve that goal, an Exploratory Review (ER) and a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) were conducted on project actuality. Based on the knowledge acquired on the ER and SLR, an approach was defined and refined enabling us to observe, analyze and understand project actuality and its contexts. Six case studies using the approach were conducted in order to refine the approach and to explain the critical issues surrounding the actuality in software projects management in micro and small organizations. Action research helped the team to engage on reflection and action, in order to evolve as project and organization based on the project actuality observed.
Atualmente estudos confirmam que mudanças continuam a ocorrer na gestão de projetos tanto no ambiente acadêmico quando no profissional. Cada vez mais, as organizações usam projetos para atingir seus objetivos de negócios. Mesmo assim, os resultados muitas vezes ficam aquém dos objetivos esperados. Apesar da gestão de projetos ter se tornado um processo de negócio tanto no nível estratégico quanto no operacional, ainda há muito o que entender sobre a realidade dos projetos em organizações de desenvolvimento de software. A "Realidade de Projetos" debutou na rede de pesquisa Project Management Rethinking (RPM) em 2006, que buscava repensar a gestão de projetos. Para compreender os desafios enfrentados por projetos de desenvolvimento de software nos dias de hoje, precisamos ir além da restrição tripla (custo, prazo e escopo) e o seu processo ou tecnologia envolvida. Para gerenciar projetos precisamos entender como os membros da equipe do projeto reagem à rotina diária, aos problemas, contexto, cultura organizacional, todo o fenômeno da realidade dos projetos. Teorias tradicionais usadas para compreender e explicar o mundo da gestão de projetos fazem diferentes suposições sobre a realidade dos projetos, o conhecimento científico, a ética, os valores e o contexto onde ocorre a gestão do projeto. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é criar uma abordagem para investigar, observar e analisar a realidade de projetos de software e para apoiar a reflexão da equipe do projeto. E ainda, através do uso da abordagem, dar visibilidade ao fenômeno da realidade de projetos em seis pequenas organizações de desenvolvimento de software. Mesmo que os resultados dependam do contexto, algumas causas, efeitos, fatores de perturbação percebidos e analisados podem ajudar na compreensão deste setor, além de apoiar pesquisadores e profissionais no repensar da gestão de projetos. Para atingir esse objetivo, uma pesquisa exploratória (ER) e uma revisão sistemática da literatura (SLR) foram realizadas sobre a realidade de projetos e como observá-la. Com base no conhecimento adquirido com a ER e a SLR, foi definida e refinada uma abordagem que nos permite observar, analisar e compreender a realidade dos projetos e seus contextos. Seis estudos de caso utilizando a abordagem foram conduzidos a fim de refinar a abordagem e explicar as questões críticas em torno da realidade na gestão de projetos de software em Micro e Pequenas Empresas (MPEs). A abordagem prevê também uma etapa de reflexão e intervenção, executada com apoio de pesquisa-ação, onde as equipes se engajam em reflexão e ações, a fim de evoluírem como projeto e organização, com base na realidade observada.
Markkula, Petter. "Decision making in inter‐corporate projects : A qualitative and quantitative study of project workers in automobile research and pre‐ development projects in Japan and Germany." Thesis, Project management, Innovations and Entrepreneurship, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-19788.
Full textThis thesis is dealing with the integration of Japanese and German project workers in automobile inter‐corporate research/pre‐development projects. The focus is on better understanding the respective decision making process. As cultural differences play a big role in the way that people behave an extra focus was put on investigating this. The methods chosen for this study were quantitative research in the form of a questionnaire and qualitative research in the form of an interview series.
For the quantitative research, literature in the cross‐cultural field was studied and from different cultural dimensions suggested by various authors, a synthesis was derived. This was then used as the base for a questionnaire. The data both enabled a quantitative research study and supported the qualitative study. A number of questions with a more straightforward approach to decision making in projects were also a part of the questionnaire. The data was processed using the statistical software SPSS and the results were analyzed using factor analysis and ANOVA.
The factor analysis of the quantitative data had only one factor which had a significant difference between the German and the Japanese sample. The dimension was called individuality reward and describes to which degree a society reward competent group behavior versus competent individual behavior. The German sample showed a strong tendency towards favoring competent individual behavior whereas the Japanese sample leaned towards favoring competent group behavior.
The questionnaire questions directly linked to decision making showed no significant differences between the samples showing that individual attitudes within the German and Japanese sample varies more than the cultural differences between the two groups. This shows that you cannot expect a Japanese or German person to act in a certain way in a certain decision making situation just judging on their cultural background.
In order to get a deep understanding of the decision making process a qualitative series of interviews were conducted. All interviews with Japanese and other people on location in Japan were conducted in‐person at different locations around the Tokyo area. Interviews with people situated in Europe were made over the phone. The interviews were recorded and later transcribed and interpreted to gain a thorough understanding of the decision making process.
From the qualitative material several differences in how German and Japanese people work and make decisions were found. More time is put into sharing information and getting consensus before a decision in Japan than in Germany were discussions and arguing in meetings are more tolerated. The reason for this behavior in Japan is to not lose face and as well as making it possible to make a decision fast once brought up in a meeting. Germans remain more flexible to revisions after a decision has been made because of the shorter preparation phase.
There is big overlap of members between different inter‐corporate research projects in the automobile industry. Japanese project members tends to be older than their German counterparts which makes them more stable as younger people might disappear from a project as they move up the corporate ladder. In Japan there is a greater emphasis put into after‐work activities compared to Germany where it is seen as beneficial but not as often used as a way to gain a personal relationship.
The thesis concludes that by relatively small measures common decision making between Japanese and German project workers can become smooth and with few misunderstandings. Introductions to respective cultures as well as keeping an open mindset and non assertive attitude should help avoid some of the worst case scenarios. A kick‐off in the beginning of a project in order to build a personal relationship and trust would surely help the project come off to a good start. Setting common goals for the project and confirming data with people involved in a decision process will facilitate common consensus decision making. Also confirming decisions as simply as paraphrasing what has been said or by informal one‐on‐one discussions in a break or after a meeting can keep misunderstandings due to the language barrier to a minimum.

It has long been stated in the literature the effects of collaboration to innovation, especially regarding research and development (R&D) activities. However, these are dynamic empirical fields. Therefore theoretical approaches face constant challenges to understand and explain the new evidences. Due to the limited scope and scale of organizations to search and identify partners with complementary knowledge and resources, and to select those with potential to effectively cooperate for R&D, there is an increasing emergence of agents who provide these services in the market. Called intermediaries or brokers, they influence the interaction among organizations with the common goal of innovation. Still, the literature has reported that the intermediary may play an important set of functions for R&D projects not limited to the search of partners. This thesis is therefore mainly concerned with the influence of innovation intermediaries in the context of collaborative R&D projects, suggesting a conceptual framework on the role of intermediaries. The framework emphasises that R&D collaboration goes beyond dyadic relationships usually highlighted in the literature. The roles of intermediaries provide an important additional dimension in collaborative R&D projects. The empirical part of the thesis explored three case studies: Force for Elastomers, from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil; the Orange Service Call and Reward project undertaken by the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) for Orange; and the StarStream project from the University of Southampton, both in the United Kingdom. The results confirmed the influence of innovation intermediaries in most of the critical elements of a R&D project. The study advances the understanding of the influence of intermediaries for the beginning of a new project between partners. The analyses also show that intermediaries influence especially through the search for possible partners and the management of the relationship. However, the activities of research and knowledge production as well as activities of development and prototyping were not directly influenced by intermediaries. The stage after R&D, when the partners had reached positive results from activities, received a major influence from intermediaries who helped the firms to protect the inventions and to value and commercialize the new technology. Research outcomes still reveal that there is still a lack of measurements about intermediaries’ effectiveness and therefore firms involved in partnerships cannot fully evaluate their role.

Education for Sustainable Development is a core feature of education in a university of the 21th century and in society. In a university, it has two aspects: firstly, to educate students and to help future academics to contribute to sustainable development, secondly, to contribute to sustainability and to spread education for sustainable development in the community. We consider examples of successful cooperation between the university and its stakeholders via projects that are relevant for education for sustainable development. We analyse the success factors and the educational and sustainability impacts of these projects.

Full textObjectives: To conduct a systematic review of reports of pharmacy student research programs to describe publication and presentations resulting from the research. Methods: To be eligible for the systematic review, studies must have described student research programs in which students’ were required to collect, analyze, report or present findings and be reported in English. Candidate studies were screened and data extracted using standardized forms by two investigators independently with the final list identified by consensus. The primary outcome variables were extramural posters/presentations and publications. Data were summarized in tables. Results: A total of 6112 studies were screened and 14 studies were identified that described student research meeting inclusion criteria; two reports were from outside the United States. Two-thirds were reports of required projects and a third were elective projects. Required research projects were conducted on a wide variety of topics including clinical, practice, laboratory, public health, education and other topics. Elective research was focused on clinical practice, and laboratory topics. Components of the research process were not uniformly described. The terminal project requirement was usually a written report (57%) or a poster (29%). One program required a presentation. More than half (64%) of the student research programs reported that students presented extramural posters and half (57%) reported that publications resulted from student research. Conclusions: About half of the student research programs described in the literature indicated that student research resulted in extramural posters or presentations.

Llifelog is a web platform for discovering, evaluating, and exchanging research projects among students and researchers from both academia and industry. The goal of Llifelog is foster a community of critique among students and researchers in a project market. Those who engage in the market answer the call "find out how your work, projects, and ideas are valued in the community." The unique contribution of the Llifelog system lies in designing market-based mechanisms that stimulate the project exchange while maintaining information confidentiality, and devising a peer-to-peer, direct communication channel between project creators and project viewers. In this thesis, I explain how such market mechanism results more objective evaluation compared to other existing rating mechanisms online. A virtual credit system, Truons, is used in this web platform to facilitate the project evaluation and exchange. The website was built using Java, MySQL, Apache Tomcat, HTML, CSS, and Javascript and hosted on an Ubuntu server. It also uses a Natural Language Processing engine, AlchemyAPI, and various image processing techniques. The platform was tested among about 305 users with 74 projects within 3 weeks. User feedback was also gathered after the testing to further understand the context and rationale for user behavior on the web platform.

The scientific and technological advances made in recent years have been revolutionizing traditional approaches exploitation of biological resources. Thus it is understandable that product innovation can be characterized briefly by three stages: the formulation of the idea, product development and production scale. In these phases fall into various processes of technology transfer, with the participation of several actors and under various barriers. Technology transfer in this context is understood as the transfer of a body of knowledge, methods and / or equipment to solve design problems in a given application domain, either through training or acquisition. Given this context the present study sought to examine how the definition of the research agenda influences the transfer of biotechnology and business generation in the process of innovation in the food sector in Manaus - AM. The importance of this study was based on the effort to analyze the competitive capacity and to identify actions that promote the generation of new business in the food sector, given that the technology transfer between companies and research institutions has been driven due to the growing importance of knowledge for technological advancement and competitiveness. The methodology used in the study involved the application of intentional interview with area businesses and food questionnaires to 178 researchers working in institutes of science and technology in Manaus. The study presented numerous contributions to the agenda of the researcher and their influence to the food sector, where public agencies define the agenda of the researcher through funding sources and determining the demand by researchers. And innovation is a decisive factor for the competitiveness of the food industry, however it is necessary to the training of highly qualified personnel, particularly on biotechnology that can break down barriers and develop research and development for the sector in question. Finally, support enterprises in biotechnology and especially areas related to the food sector is the challenge for researchers, experts and enterprises because it is a promising segment and high economic interest. It is necessary to stimulate the creation and strengthening of companies, offering conditions for competitiveness. The innovative projects should be developed and processed mainly in socioeconomic benefits to the city of Manaus - AM.
Os avanços científicos e tecnológicos alcançados nos últimos anos vêm revolucionando as abordagens tradicionais de exploração de recursos biológicos. Desta forma compreende-se que a inovação de produtos pode ser caracterizada, resumidamente, por três fases: a formulação da idéia, o desenvolvimento do produto e a produção em escala. Nessas fases inserem-se vários processos de transferência de tecnologia, com a participação de vários atores e sob diversas barreiras. A transferência de tecnologia nesse contexto é entendida como a transferência de um conjunto de conhecimentos, métodos e/ou equipamentos para a resolução de problemas de projetos em dado domínio de aplicação, seja por meio de capacitação ou aquisição. Diante desta contextualização a presente pesquisa buscou analisar como a definição da agenda de pesquisa influencia a transferência de biotecnologia e a geração de negócios, no processo de inovação no setor de alimentos em Manaus - AM. A importância deste estudo baseou-se no esforço em analisar a capacidade competitiva e identificar ações que promovam a geração de novos negócios no setor de alimentos, haja vista que a transferência de tecnologia entre empresas e instituições de pesquisa tem sido impulsionada devido à crescente importância do conhecimento para o avanço tecnológico e competitividade. A metodologia adotada na pesquisa envolveu a aplicação de entrevista intencional com empresas da área de alimentos e a aplicação de questionários para 178 pesquisadores que atuam nos institutos de ciência e tecnologia em Manaus. O estudo apresentou inúmeras contribuições para a agenda do pesquisador e sua influência para o setor de alimentos, onde órgãos públicos definem a agenda do pesquisador por meio de fontes de financiamento e que determina a demanda por parte dos pesquisadores. E a inovação é fator decisivo para a competitividade do setor de alimentos, entretanto torna-se necessário a formação de pessoal altamente qualificado, em especial ligado a biotecnologia que podem romper barreiras e desenvolver pesquisas e desenvolvimento para o setor em questão. Por fim, apoiar empreendimentos em biotecnologia e principalmente de áreas ligadas ao setor de alimentos é o desafio dos pesquisadores, especialistas e das empresas, pois se trata de um segmento promissor e de alto interesse econômico. Torna-se necessário o estímulo para a criação e ao fortalecimento de empresas do setor, oferecendo condições para sua competitividade. Os projetos inovadores devem ser desenvolvidos e principalmente transformados em benefícios socioeconômicos para a cidade de Manaus - AM.
