This chapter examines the success factors for industry-university collaboration through IS industry boards. Based on an in-depth case of industry-academic collaboration in Mexico, the chapter addresses the following research questions: What are the critical success factors for achieving good outcomes from an IS industry board? What factors impede the achievement of good outcomes from such a board in a developing nation? What factors are distinctive and serve to differentiate IS industry boards of developing nations from those of advanced ones? In the case study, the IS industry board enhanced the IS academic program’s curriculum, the university’s computer labs, the student internship program, and faculty training. This case demonstrates that the critical success factors for the IS industry board were top management support, the department chair’s interpersonal skills, board member selection, proper board management, and appropriate university policies regarding industry-university collaboration. The experiences of developing and advanced nations for such boards are mostly similar, but differ due to lack of tenure track careers for IS faculty in the developing nation under study.

To identify the critical success factors in the adoption of energy efficiency actions in Brazilian hospitals and describe their behaviour are the objectives of this paper. In order to achieve these goals, a literature review was performed on green management and energy efficiency. This was the basis to define the questions of the interview script applied to two hospitals located in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. The interview script application was complemented by secondary data and direct observation. The results showed that: a) the studied hospitals are embracing environmental management actions more often and, whenever possible, energy efficiency actions are taken as well; and b) in the cases analysed top management support, commitment with the environment, green process design and employee empowerment were some of the most relevant critical success factors to the accomplishment of energy efficiency actions. These findings may be of interest to emerging countries, including BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa).

The Impact

<p><em>Many researchers have investigated the critical success factors in ERP system implementation. The previous study has examined four primary human critical success factors (competence, behavior, team composition, and communication) and based on study literature performed by the author, there were many studies found that top management support also has crucial role in ERP implementation. The objective of this study is to examine the impact of top management support, competence, behavior, team composition, and communication in ERP implementation.</em><em>This study was conducted in three stages. First, review sources and scientific literature relevant to this research. Second, analyze the findings and recommendations of previous research to determine the component of variable x. Third, conduct research using a quantitative approach through a questionnaire survey. </em><em>Questionnaires were distributed to employees from various company that involved directly in ERP implementation. </em><em>This study found that all five variables positively correlated to project success and only team composition variable that significantly positively correlated to project success. This study offers ERP project managers the crucial factors needed to be concerned for the project success.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><em>ERP, Human Critical Success Factors.</em></p><p><em><br /></em></p>

Building System

Globally, the adoption of Industrialised building system (IBS) has been acknowledged as a panacea for housing delivery performance. However, in most developing nations, especially Nigeria, its successful adoption is confronted with myriad of factors that are differently perceived by stakeholders resulting in poor performance and low uptake. The focus of this study is, therefore, to identify and evaluate those inhibiting factors as perceived by key construction stakeholders in the Nigerian construction industry. Initially, sixty-four (64) factors were identified through literature and structured interview. After which, a panel of experts, through Delphi method, considered forty-seven (47) of the factors contextual to IBS performance in Nigeria. 210 (70%) multidisciplinary construction professionals responded to the 300 administered questionnaires anchored on a Likert scale of I-5, (1-least significant to 5-Most Significant). Mean score approach was employed for data analysis. All the success factors were perceived to be critical. However, while forty (40) factors were perceived to excise high influence, seven (7) factors were found to moderately influence IBS performance. The five (5) critical success factors (CSFs) based on mean score (MS) are; Clear and precise goals (3.986), knowledge & skills (3.976), planning & control (3.948), top management support (3.938), and transportation (3.924). Having the knowledge of factors critical to IBS performance will assist key stakeholders' in their decision-making towards achieving effective project delivery.
