This research paper shows a framework to conduct an empirical study in Malaysian automotive industry in order to improve their performance. There are factors which are effective factors in improving performance of Malaysian automotive companies namely top management support, cross functional teamwork, new product development (NPD) process, NPD strategies, and market research activities. The critical success factor of NPD is playing a fundamental role in determining the performance in Malaysian automotive companies. In this research study, a framework has been developed that includes critical success factors of NPD and project achievement to study their influence on the performance of Malaysian automotive companies. It is hoped that this paper can provide an academic source for both academicians and managers due to investigate the relationship between critical success factors of total NPD, project achievement and company performance in a systematic manner to increase successful rate of NPD progress.

The authors present a new country market selection model using a three filter/two phase approach to scanning: 1) a macro filter using mega aggregate country statistics (external environments) in the rough cut phase with “broad fit” company compatibilities (values, vision, goals, capabilities, management feel) and critical success factors (make or break issues); 2) anEM filter to consider and evaluate emerging country markets of potential, also in the rough cut phase, matching the EM factors “broad fit” with the critical success factors of the organization and 3) a micro filter using key success factors for the company and product, market structural factors, and industry/competition factors which produce a “narrow fit” in the diamond cut phase with the organization’s objectives, strategies and resources. The emerging markets will be given full consideration in this model and factors selected will be chosen with the “fit” of the specific company, product, strategies, internal and external environments pertinent to the unique blend of variables in the industry/organization.

Background: Business intelligence (BI) has become an important part of the solution to providing businesses with the vital decision-making information they need to ensure sustainability and to build shareholder value. Critical success factors (CSFs) provide insight into those factors that organisations need to address to improve new BI projects’ chances of success.Objectives: This research aimed to determine which CSFs are the most important in the financial services sector of South Africa.Method: The authors used a Delphi-technique approach with key project stakeholders in three BI projects in different business units of a leading South African financial services group.Results: Authors regarded CSF categories of ‘committed management support and champion’,‘business vision’, ‘user involvement’ and ‘data quality’ as the most critical for BI success.Conclusions: Researchers in the BI field should note that the ranking of CSFs in this study only correlate partially with those a European study uncovered. However, the five factors the authors postulated in their theoretical framework ranked in the seven highest CSFs. Therefore, they provide a very strong validation of the framework. Research in other industries and other emerging economies may discover similar differences and partial similarities. Of special interest would be the degree of correlation between this study and future, and similar emerging market studies. Practitioners, especially BI project managers, would do well to check that they address the CSFs the authors uncovered before undertaking BI projects.

PurposeThis study contributes to answering the question, can critical success factors of small businesses in emerging markets advance United Nation (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Specifically, this study aims to explore the critical factors contributing to the success of small businesses and ultimately the UN SDGs in the emerging market of Nigeria.Design/methodology/approachThe design is survey research testing the Lussier success vs failure prediction model for small businesses in Nigeria. The methodology includes a logistic regression model to better understand and predict the factors that contribute to success or failure using a data set of 201 small businesses in Nigeria.FindingsThe findings support the validity of the Lussier model (p = 0.000) in Nigeria as the model accurately predicted 84.4% of the small businesses as successful or failed with a high R-square value (R = 0.540). The most significant factors (t-values < 0.05) that predict the success or failure of businesses support the findings that business owners that start with adequate capital, keep records and financial controls, use professional advice, have better product/service timing, and have parents who own businesses can increase the probability of success.Practical implicationsThe study provides a list of critical success factors contributing to the growth of small business in Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa. The findings can help entrepreneurs avoid failure and advance UN SDGs 1, 2, 8 and 10. Implications for current and future entrepreneurs, public agencies, consultants, educators, policymakers, suppliers and investors are discussed.Originality/valueThis is the first study to determine the factors that contribute to the success or failure of small businesses in Nigeria using the Lussier model. It also discusses how to advance four of the UN sustainability goals. Results support the Lussier model's global validity that can be used in both emerging and developed markets, and it contributes to the development of theory.

Der Bau von Gebäuden setzt permanente Wechselwirkungen zwischen den initialen Planungsaktivitäten und den späteren Steuerungsmaßnahmen voraus. Diese Rückkopplung wird oftmals unterschätzt. Zur Steigerung der Transparenz von Informationen und aktuellen Entwicklungen auf der Baustelle wird ein mobiles, softwaregestütztes Funktionsmuster entwickelt. Dieses orientiert sich an Erfolgsfaktoren von Bauprojekten und unterstützt die Projektstakeholder orts- sowie zeitunabhängig. &nbsp; The construction of buildings involves permanent interdependencies between initial planning processes and subsequent control activities. These circumstances are often underestimated. To make information and current developments on construction sites more transparent, a mobile functional model has been developed, based on critical success factors of factory construction projects. Moreover, it supports project stakeholders regardless of time and place.

Abstract Non-profit organisations (NPOs) are key players in the socio-economic development of nations. This is evident in their proliferation at the local, national and international levels. Despite their increasing number, NPOs are confronted with diverse challenges which hinder their sustainability. This paper highlights some of the challenges confronting NPOs especially in the area of fundraising from an emerging market perspective. It examines some critical factors that drive success in fundraising among NPOs. Using a quantitative research design, a survey was sent to 200 randomly sampled participants with 130 responses received and the data analysed using Exploratory Factor Analysis and regression analysis. It emerged that having proper structures, coupled with credibility and accountability was critical to successful fundraising among NPOs in emerging markets. Also, NPOs need to carefully address a complex mix of external and internal issues to successfully raise funds for their operations. Prevailing economic conditions stood out as a key determinant of fundraising success. The study also revealed that the giving motive of fund givers was very important in affecting the relationships between economic conditions, internal resources of the entities, organisational strategy and success in fundraising. Keywords: Non-profit organisations, emerging market, fundraising, critical success factors, accountability, economic conditions.
