This study aims to explore the relationship between the critical success factors (CSFs) and the performance of integrated project delivery (IPD) projects based on empirical data from IPD projects. Data from 16 projects, in relation to 25 success factors and four performance areas (schedule performance, cost performance, defects, and change orders), were gathered and analyzed according to the qualitative comparative analysis method. As a result, this study identifies 17 factors as conditions that frequently occurred in successful IPD projects. This study also derives combinations of factors that led to IPD project success regarding each of the four performance areas.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) to implement integrated project delivery (IPD) systems in the Korean construction industry. Design/methodology/approach This study categorized potential CSFs and analyzed them using factor analysis and multiple regression analysis to choose the best ones based on responses from Korean construction experts. Findings In total, 29 potential factors were selected and categorized into 7 CSFs using factor analysis. Originality/value The outcomes of the study are useful as a reference for applying the IPD system in different developing countries and mid-sized construction industries.

The paper analyses the websites of sports teams of most popular Slovak sports. For assessment were established 13 parameters. The evaluation focused on the relationship of the club through the website with fans, sponsors and youth. The results of this analysis shows the shortcomings and common features various clubs, in view of the approach to addressing the issue. This article also shows the difference between the clubs and their approach with regard to the sports sector in which they operate.   Keywords: Web site; Critical Success; Factors; Sport; Marketing

AbstractThis paper’s goal is to discuss implications for the empirical study of low educational status arising from the use of the concept of educational poverty in research. It has two related conceptual foci: (1) the relationship of educational poverty with material poverty and to what extent useful parallels exist, and (2) the distinction of absolute and relative (educational) poverty and whether the notion of absolute (educational) poverty is a sensible one. For the concept of educational poverty to be analytically fruitful, clear conceptualisation and operationalisation of the relevant issues are required. The paper contributes to the aim of providing these by building on existing work on educational poverty and by drawing on relevant work on material poverty as well as discussing some conceptual challenges and some of the challenges arising from the operationalisation of the concepts. Some of these challenges are illustrated using examples based on data from the German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS). In a further step, factors which may lead to a greater risk of being in relative educational poverty are analysed, employing the method multi-value Qualitative Comparative Analysis. The empirical findings highlight the relative nature of educational qualifications: the usefulness of a basic school leaving qualification has changed over time, and it has not been the same for different groups. Thus, a conceptualisation of low educational status as educational poverty has been shown to be useful, and it has been demonstrated that the relative nature of educational poverty ought to be taken into account by researchers.

In Ireland the construction sector is at the initial stages of assessing and adapting Building Information Management (BIM) on pilot projects. At an initial summary review BIM could be seen as a fad that will burn out as quickly as it appeared. Many of the concepts associated with BIM are grounded in Co-ordinated Project Information (CPI), Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) and object modelling which have been developed over the last 20-30 years. This research presents the critical success factors (CSF) associated with knowledge management (KM) and investigates the correlation of these with the development and integration of BIM within the construction industry in Ireland. These CSF will be addressed in the context of assessing maturity levels prior to integrating KM or BIM. Determining the CSF will accelerate the implementation of BIM. Developing a BIM CSF Analysis Model will assist in assessing a company’s readiness to embark on BIM projects.

The mineral industry environment is an interlinked chain of activities. Identification of major activities of the mineral industry, termed as critical success factors (CSFs), and their relationship structure will be approachable, productive and efficiency-oriented for the industry to manage. The aim of the article is to develop a relationship structure consisting of CSFs influencing the mineral industry. Sixteen such operational influencing CSFs are identified through a broad literature review and subsequent dialogues held with mineral-field experts. The interpretive structural modelling (ISM) approach is applied for analysing CSFs and finding a relationship structure. The study is carried out in Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand, mineral-rich states of India. Identification of CSFs and their relationship is carried out in nine phases sequentially to arrive at the latent structure. This is the only study to develop relationships of CSFs for any mineral industry in India. The findings of the study will provide insights on the relationship structure of CSFs of the mineral industry’s operation and be helpful for improvements in addressing operational difficulties for corporates, as well as academics. Among the 16 CSFs identified, ‘training and skill level’, ‘infrastructure’ and ‘political influence’ have the maximum driving force and are the least dependent. The projected model is helpful in understanding the relationship among CSFs and the business operation as a whole.
