Full textThe traditional view of project management is beingchallenged by the globalization of markets, mergers ofinternational companies, and the integration of managerial andbusi-ness processes in global corporations. The development ofInformation Technology and the rapid growth of the Internet hascreated an opportunity to utilize global resources, resultingin new and unique problems within project management researchthat need to be addressed.
This thesis focuses on problems in project managementexperienced by global system suppliers trying to adapt theirbusinesses to the rapid changes of customers needs. Itespe-cially focuses on geographically dispersed organizationsconsisting of several organizations in different countries,with disparate history and corporate culture, developing anddeliver-ing complex systems under the company's name.
In order to identify potential problems faced by globalmulti-organizational companies, especially system supplierswith large research and development (R&D) budgets, aframe-work is suggested. This framework divides the problemsinto three categories: geographi-cal, organizational andcultural. The problems identified in the case studies are thenclassi-fied to these categories. Finally, a description of howthe identified problems can be man-aged is provided when themost important success factors identified in the studies arepresented.

Full textThe telecommunication industry in Brazil has evolved to an advanced state and growing competitiveness since the privatization of the sector in 1998. In the last six years, the Brazilian telecommunication system has progressed from inefficient and outdated to world class. To succeed in the current highly competitive environment, telecommunication service providers must focus their strategy on their market and clients. These firms must be able to implement strategies that assure the quality of their products and services and client satisfaction. The objective of this research is to assess how project management can contribute to effective strategy implementation to guarantee and sustain competitive advantage in a dynamic environment. The investigation follows a case study format, and its object of study is the Brazilian telecommunication company EMBRATEL. Instruments of data collection range from documental/telematic compilations to perception survey through structured questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis, based on both quantitative and qualitative methods, and interpretation were based on academic references, based on research of available literature, and in most part with the support of the systemic and integrative model developed by Macedo-Soares (2001b). Among the most significant results, it fits to highlight the fact of the company doesn´t have a well- implemented project management methodology. It was recommended that EMBRATEL should develop a corporate methodology in projects management, based on the best practices of the market and integrated into the measure system for control of the strategic actions.

This thesis develops a numerical simulation environment as a management support tool applicable to the selection and scheduling of multiple, concurrent research and development projects under conditions of constrained resources and uncertain program requirements. A prototype version of this software tool, called SEMPRO (Simulation Environment for Multiple Project Resource Optimization), is developed to capture an operational model of the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center flight and a representative research project portfolio. An attribute-driven Work Breakdown Schedule generates resource-loaded activity networks for each entry in the research project portfolio. The project selection and project coordination problems are formulated as Binary Integer Linear Programming problems, as extensions of the traditional Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP). To alleviate the computational obstacles associated with these NP Hard problems, a Lagrange Relaxation formulation is used to generate a near-optimal, time-phased sequence for execution of the selected project activity networks. Stochastic, non-linear, discrete-event simulation dynamics are then employed to validate these linear optimization solutions against a representative model of the organization's research and development project operational processes. The SEMPRO prototype is written in the Microsoft Excel Visual Basic Application language to facilitate project management visualization and knowledge transfer.

Full textSoftware project development can be characterized as failing to meet the user's needs within budget and schedule limitations. The number of software development failures far exceeds the number delivered as specified throughout industry and specifically in the Department of Defense. The System Dynamics Model of Software Project Management is a sustained and generally accepted quantitative model for simulating the software development lifecycle. Dynamic management issues can now be evaluated in an experimental setting which eliminates the financial risks. The objective of this thesis is to use the System Dynamics Model's gaming interface to investigate the effects of managerial motivation on software project managers in a multiproject environment. Specifically, this experiment was conducted to determine the effect of individual or team motivation on subsystem managers of a larger project. The effect of the two motivation methods are measured in terms of staffing level decisions, final cost and final duration.

Full textThe global marketplace is rapidly intensifying. Longer product sales lives, greater profit margins or simply survival, is dependent on management¿s ability to create and lead change. Project Management has become an important competency, combined with other business practices to adapt to the trend of changing conditions. Critical Chain is a relatively new project methodology, elaborated by Eliyahu Goldratt in order to complete projects faster, make more efficient use of resources and securing the project deliverables. The methodology is based on the assumption that traditional project techniques such as CPM and PERT, do not recognize critical human behavior. The methodology claims that many project failures are a direct result of how safety is built into the task delivery times, and then wasted by human behavior such as Student Syndrome, Parkinson Law and Multitasking. However, there has been little or no previous research regarding this topic in the Argentine marketplace. This study intended to investigate to what extent the human behavior concepts of critical chain project management are present, by performing in-depth interviews with Argentine project stakeholders. It appears that the four human behavior concepts are present in Argentina and that the majority of Argentine companies are yet to apply project management techniques.

Full textThe aim of the thesis was to investigate and analyze howproject members at operative level experience industrialproject work. The project goal, alongside the time limits,methods applied, and cooperation, were envisaged to set theprerequisites for the work situation. Four empirical studies,based on both qualitative and quantitative methods, areencompassed by this thesis. In total, 31 companies and 298respondents were involved in the studies. The studies wereperformed in product-development and construction settingswithin the mechanical engineering industry. The analysis showsthat project work is characterized by: 1) Goal-focusedcooperation in flexible and changeable work groups. Demandscompetence for cooperation; interaction and communicationconstantly adjusted to problem-solving processes; and jointactivities for goal definition. 2) Treating time as a resource.A fast pace of work demands shared responsibilities in a team;unconstrained interaction and communication; and socialsupport. Scarce time resources give rise to the risk ofneglecting needs for long-term knowledge development. 3)Development and insecurity. Development makes contingency-basedsupervision and planning needed, together with team-basedplanning and goal formulation. High levels of developmentstimulate knowledge and improvements to routines and practices.Technological development also entails insecurity, whichrequires the ability mentally to cope with flexibility andcontinuous adjustments.

Full textThis licentiate thesis discusses management and control ofan industrial business that implements several projects at thesame time, a so-called multi-project business. The questionthat will be answered is: What distinguish the management of amulti-project business and what is crucial for the managementto focus on? The thesis is based on a case study at a companycalled Adtranz Signal in Sweden. Adtranz Signal develops,designs and delivers signal and safety systems for the railway.They are a perfect example of a modern company that operatesthe main part of their business with projects.
The discussion will take us beyond the single project andabove the project manager. This is necessary because projectmanagement literature, by tradition, emphasizes on theindividual project, and the complexity of problems when aproject is executed isolated from the ordinary business. Todaythere are only a few empirical and theoretical studies ofmulti-project businesses, especially those that focuses on howindustrial companies use projects and lead project work.
The scientific contribution in this thesis consists of twoparts. The first part is a profound empirical description ofhow management, control and realization of a multi-projectbusiness work. The second part is a further development of theliterature considering management problems in a multi-projectbusiness. Finally there are three important conclusions pointedout:
It exists dependencies and connections between theprojects in the companys multi-project businessThedifferent dependencies can be categorizedThedependencies and connections are important and must be handledsince they effect the management of the multi-projectbusiness
