The research in this paper is based seeks to understand how manufacturing companies can accomplish of their projects in the real time with less cost. This paper describes a new model using critical success factors of implementing projects in the small and medium size enterprises (SMEs). The factors in conceptual model were identified in past studies and validate from the survey by interview with 20 project management in electronic industries in Iran. Several prior researches have suggested some critical success factors for reducing time and cost in new product. These factors are departments of product, planning, procurement and design. However, none of these studies has proposed a model that specifies practices that should be undertaken to facilitate the progression to reduce time and cost in new product in SMEs. Following this, a development of a new model is supposed important to help SMEs understand what is required in order to be an effective global organization in terms of reduce time and cost by electronic collaboration (E-collaboration) through project management.

The sheer volume of information, 15 books and over 1,500 graphics, contained in CSC's corporate system development methodology, Catalyst,sm has created a need to have this information on-line. On-line access, it was felt, would dramatically impact productivity. To help support users and facilitate the use of Catalyst, the Microsoft (MS) help system, in conjunction with RoboHELPTM, was used to put Catalyst online in a hypertext format. Incorporating feedback and usability concerns was key in determining how its more than 20,000 users could best utilize this product. The design evolved over several months and in its final form also extended the limited functionality of the MS help system, providing a more robust product. This paper discusses the challenges surrounding the design of a large windows help system, approximately 53 MB in size (33 MB when fully compressed). The lessons learned can form the basis for creating an effective help system development process for meeting users' needs.

Many quantitative and qualitative studies have been conducted on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation in Large Enterprise (LEs) and Small and Medium-size Enterprises (SMEs) to capture the full benefits of ERP systems, but a survey instrument for identification of the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that contribute in the success of ERP implementation at Indian SMEs still does not exist. This paper develops an ERP implementation success survey instrument (questionnaire) by identifying thirty CSFs for the success of ERP implementation at Indian SMEs. This paper proposes a framework in terms of one scenario to explore the 30 CSFs that determine the success of ERP implementation at Indian SMEs. A quantitative survey based method was used to collect the data from the Indian ERP consultants (respondents). The data collected were analyzed using statistical techniques. Respondents are required to respond to each item (statement) on a Likert five point scale of agreement and disagreement. Whole questionnaire is divided in to five parts Cover Letter, General Proforma, Conceptual Framework, Survey Items and One open ended question supported by thank you letter. Findings are discussed for the future work to bridge the current literature gap and provide practical advice for both ERP academics and practitioners.

The website is one of the digital information media used by schools to display their profiles so that they can be known by the public. Some SMP Negeri in Kota Samarinda do not yet have a website as a media or school information center. This could be due to difficulties in creating and on the website of each school. From these problems, in this study researchers innovated to create a Content Management System (CMS) for school websites, especially at SMP Negeri 29 Samarinda. Laravel PHP framework is used with the system development method is the Waterfall method.

The success of IT system development is largely dependent on the System Requirements Definition (SRD) phase. Researches on Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in the SRD phase are beneficial to the success of IT system development. However, reports that consider the situation in the system requirements definition phase is lacking and these studies try to develop universal truths for CSFs without lessons learnt from empirical evidence need to be characterized. This study is a step towards bridging this gap in characterized evidence to discover “difficult items” in the SRD phase. Moreover, we conducted a case study to justify the importance of CSFs that could be 1) Customer/User Involvement, 2) Clear project goals, and 3) Technical skills of the project team in the SRD phase. The results of the characterization indicated that those major CSFs are consistent. Another issue can also be mitigated by examining Agile method.

Purpose Business performance management describes the processes, methodologies, metrics and systems needed to measure and manage the performance of an enterprise. Traditional performance management systems were based on financial and productivity measures but the alternate measures proposed in last more 25 years have strategic focus and incorporate variety of performance measures such as efficiency, effectiveness, productivity, quality, customer satisfaction, innovation and employee satisfaction in addition to financial. Globalization and modernization have created a business environment uncertain with associated risks which has necessitated the incorporation of various types of flexibilities such as strategic, technical, operational, information system (IS), etc. Critical success factors and implementation issues also need to be incorporated to succeed. The purpose of this paper is to present the strategic performance management system (SPMS) designed, incorporating flexibility and implementation issues, and its effectiveness empirically validated from Indian oil industry. Design/methodology/approach Based on literature review and gaps identified, a proposed model of enterprise performance management system incorporating flexibility, critical success factors and implementation issues was developed. Macro- and micro-level factors impacting the effectiveness of the model were identified, and hypotheses were developed and tested empirically from the survey study of Indian oil industry. Findings The finding met, by and large, most of the research objectives. In total, 7 macro- and 11 micro-level factors came out from the study. The strategy planning, strategy implementation, strategic flexibility (SF), SPMS design, information system flexibility (IF) flexibility, implementation issues and critical success factors, and performance feedback and learning are the macro-level factors impacting the SPMS effectiveness in measuring and managing performance of an enterprise. The SPMS implementation issues have proved to be major driver of effectiveness. Research limitations/implications The research like many such researches had limited resources, data availability and bias of respondents. However, the model was statistically validated for its reliability and hypothesis testing. The research has added to literature on SPMS as integrated model incorporated SF, information flexibility and critical success factors. However, the effect of other types of flexibilities such as organizational, operational, HR, marketing, etc., and other stakeholders should also be studied in future research to broaden the findings. Practical implications The validated SPMS has practical implications for academics and researchers. Strategic and IF, and critical success factors have been incorporated in the integrated model to take care of business uncertainties so that it is strategically aligned and facilitate in effective SPMS use and implementation. Social implications Though it has no direct social implication but, if adopted for social projects and not-for-profit organizations, it will have social benefits of efficient and effectiveness delivery of social projects and initiatives. Originality/value This is an original work carried out by the authors. The validated model along with interpretation is presented.

Including users in design and development of an interactive product is crucial to achieve high level of usability. Content management systems have two categories of users, content creators and content consumers, and designers of these systems have to considers the needs of both user groups. In design of interactive learning systems, special attention has to be given to the process of learning, which means that functional, accessible and usable interface has to serve the purpose of knowledge acquisition. Designing for mobile learning brings additional challenges due to the small screens of mobile devices. The paper describes the process of utilization of user-centred design in development of a simple content management system for learning called EMasters. The aim of the EMasters is to enable teachers to easily create and organize courses which will be delivered to students to facilitate web-based and mobile learning. According to the user-centred design approach, teachers and students are involved in iterative process of design, implementation and evaluation of EMasters. Evaluation study used complementary methods and provided quantitative and qualitative feedback. The usability score reached good level and the guidelines for redesign of the system interface are drown. According to the obtained results, proposed framework is confirmed to be applicable in user-centred design of content management systems in general. In addition, the directions for adjustment of the framework for specific cases are provided.
