For the past 30 years, Lean has become popular throughout organisations across the globe. Based on the Toyota Production System (TPS), Lean is a proven systematic methodology to reduce waste in processes, optimise efficiency and ensure quality in the end products. Although Lean has been proven to be a successful methodology, it also has a high failure rate. Research has identified a range of critical success factors (CSF) that are crucial towards the successful implementation of Lean. This research endeavour takes a qualitative approach, using Grounded Theory (GT) to investigate Lean implementation in Maltese organisations and to determine whether established CSFs are applicable to the Maltese context. Participants from the manufacturing, catering, and logistics industries are interviewed, with the data coded and analysed using MAXQDA2020. The findings suggest the importance of leadership as a catalyst in driving change within an organisation to foster a culture of continuous improvement.

Nowadays, e-banking plays an important role in e-society and human life. Imagine an e-society without e-banking is not possible. The e-banking is considered as an enabler factor to e-business, e-commerce, e-government and other e-initiatives. Despite the pivotal role of e-banking in our lives, yet a comprehensive conceptual model of electronic banking success factors has not been provided by the researchers. The present chapter is trying to provide a comprehensive conceptual model by categorizing factors affecting implementation of electronic banking. In this regards, the factors affecting implementation of electronic banking was classified based on Co-structural factors, Content factors and Context factors. We called this conceptual model as the Tri-Category (3C) Model. The questionnaire used for gathering data. The results showed that there is a positive relationship between successful implementation of e- Banking and attention to Co-structural, Content and Contextual factors. At the end of chapter, several recommendations have been offered to implementing successful E-banking.

The main purpose of this study is identifying the various factors affecting change management success, as well as examine their relevance in the case of a Moroccan construction company. A combination of a literature review and research action was employed to this end. Specifically, an in-depth review of 37 organizational change management models was conducted to identify the factors that affect change management success. Additionally, a research action approach validated the identified factors. Several factors that affect organizational change management success were identified and categorized into 12 categories relevant to the successful implementation of organizational change initiatives within the case company. While further research is needed to explore the relevance of the identified factors in other organizations and sectors, this study provides an integrated understanding of change management success based on the analysis of various organizational change models. Understanding success factors can help managers implement change initiatives in their organizations effectively.

The preservation of knowledge is a universal requirement for every organisation that strives to gain a competitive advantage. Knowledge management systems are a modern business enabler and driver of success. Furthermore, the implementation of knowledge management systems is a comprehensive process which integrates people, business processes, the business universe, technology, and customers. However, some evidence suggests that organisations are investing a multiplicity of resources in implementing knowledge management systems with little success. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify and understand the types of frameworks available for implementing knowledge management systems and present a comprehensive implementation framework including the relevant critical success factors and measurement tools that organisations may use for implementing knowledge management system projects. The successful implementation of knowledge management systems lie in the adoption of a suitable strategy and well-defined framework.
