Abstract: This research turns e-government policy into practice in two ways, firstly to distil the lessons from existing evidence and experience about e-government implementation of policies and secondly by assessing the quality of the evidence, gaps in the existing research, and ways that research findings can support the implementation process in Pakistan. The main question, therefore, is how far national policy aspirations translate into actions, which are meaningful, tangible and measurable at a local level. This means the consistency of the goals at all levels remain the same i.e., macro and micro levels. This study identifies critical factors that determine the faith of policy implementation in Pakistan. The proposed model, which is based on these critical factors, is validate by analyzing different hypothesizes using empirical analysis i.e., quantitative and qualitative. This study provides a fair idea about intrinsic and extrinsic behavior of these critical success factors towards e-government policy implementation concerning Pakistan. This study also facilities successful e-government implementation in Pakistan by setting direction and guidelines for all implementation stakeholders.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to carry out the literature search on manufacturing organizations and total productive maintenance (TPM). This research aims at studying TPM attributes and barriers in line with the TPM framework for effective implementation of TPM. This study identifies the barriers in TPM implementation and the critical success factors (CSFs) for effective TPM implementation.Design/methodology/approachIn this manuscript, the study of TPM in the manufacturing sector has been considered a broad area of the research and emphasis on the TPM literature review, which primarily relates to the contribution of manufacturing sector and employment availability. Next sections covers TPM history, importance, justification, pillars, obstacles and TPM implementation procedure and models. Thereafter author identified the gaps in existing literature.FindingsThe existing literature shows that very few TPM implementation models are available for the manufacturing sector. The study also found that there is no systematically conducted large-scale empirical research which deals with TPM implementation. In order to bridge this gap, an investigation into the successful implementation of TPM in is truly needed. The finding of the literature shows that there is a need of TPM model specially developed for the manufacturing sector. The identified critical factors derived from the extensive literature review help to overcome the barriers for effective TPM implementation.Research limitations/implicationsThis review study is limited to Indian manufacturing industries. The identified TPM CSFs are based on the TPM pillars and their sub-factors. This cross-sectional study was based on the existing TPM model.Practical implicationsThis paper can increase the significance of TPM strategy, which could help managers of organizations to have a better understanding of the benefits of implementing TPM and therefore enable patient satisfaction within their organizations.Originality/valueThe literature review covers methodical identification of TPM barriers and critical factors for maintenance performance improvements. It allows the practitioners to apply these identified CSFs for TPM implementation to achieve an improvement in industrial performance and competitiveness.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the key critical factors that affect the success of Business Process Management (BPM) implementations, considering the literature and experts practical experience. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, and 25 articles from 12 different countries were selected and analyzed. In addition, through a survey, 113 BPM experts were consulted in order to assist in the evaluation of critical success factors (CSFs) initially identified in the bibliography. Findings All CSFs identified in the literature were accepted as real critical factors according to the tacit knowledge of the experts. Thus, the factors identified in the literature and approved to a large extent by the experts can serve as a basis for organizations and professionals who want to implement BPM to know of their existence, to relate to them, to control them and thus to potentiate the success of the implementation. Originality/value The construction of the theoretical framework based on SLR on BPM is a contribution to the bibliographic database. Another contribution is the identification and synthesis of the CSFs most cited by different authors from 12 different countries and its analysis by professionals on BPM.

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution implementation is a complex process, that requires substantial resources and efforts, and yet the results are very uncertain. The ERP hype has already reached SMEs, so the authors have examined the strategies, methods and critical success factors from SMEs point of view. The results of our survey in SMEs in Slovenia have shown that SMEs have to pay attention to different critical success factors in different phases of the implementation process. Moreover, there are differences in implementation process as opposed to large companies. Case studies of two SMEs have shown similar results. Recommendations for future SME implementations and comments of our findings can be found in conclusion.

The focus of this chapter is on various concepts that need to be carefully considered when defining an information systems strategic plan (ISSP) for enhancing public service delivery in the digital era. The first concept discussed is the critical success factors framework. This framework ensures that the ISSP strategic objectives are aligned with the corporate strategic objectives. The aim is to identify those critical success factors that ensure the successful implementation of the ISSP and to determine whether these factors are being achieved in the implementation process. Secondly, the chapter will consider the general implementation philosophy, including the IS application acquisition methods and the key IS features. This ensures the implementation of value for money IS applications. The third concept considered is related to the justification methods for undertaking IS applications. Finally, the chapter will discuss a number of ICT planning issues that may be applicable to the public sector.

Critical Success

Critical success factors and performance indicators provide the biotechnology industry with a foundation on which to grow and manage risks. In a recent survey of 247 biotechnology companies across Canada, elements critical for sustainability in the industry were investigated. The industry's dependence on intellectual property (IP) protection and strategic product development were significant findings with the top five critical factors being entrepreneurial environment, product distribution to target market, product focus, policies to protect IP and value of the firm's knowledge assets. When the data set was segregated based on stage of company development, there was a shift in what was considered a priority. Earlier stage companies, not yet self-sustaining, are more focused on funding with a dependence on external factors such as government support. The later stage companies, having access to product-derived funds, are more able to build internal resources with programmes directed at retaining and educating employees. Even with divergent interests, regardless of stage of company, IP and knowledge assets are key elements for success in this research and development rich industry. By understanding critical factors and changing priorities during business development, the industry will service an unmet need, facilitating modification of current marketing and business structure models. The results will promote sustainability in the industry as a whole.
