In order to increase and develop overall performance of Modern Network Grids in Smart Cities of India with acceptable levels of security and privacy, the internal and external factors which substantially affect the performance of network grids in Smart Cities without jeopardizing privacy and security issues are needed to be identified. Besides, the interdependencies of these critical success factors are needed to be realized clearly. This paper seeks to identify these critical factors and also takes a sincere attempt to ascertain the main driving forces among these critical success factors and to ascertain inter-relationship among the CSFs. These factors here have been identified by the help of three reliable instruments which are questionnaire based survey, brainstorming and finally consolidation by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). A total of 16 critical success factors eventually have been detected by the help of PCA and finally a pragmatic structure of inter-relationship among the CSFs been developed by the application of Interpretive Structural Model (ISM).

Development of cities brings in overall economic growth of the country. As a result, cities are taking new shape with modern facilities to ensure development. In this perspective, Government of India (GOI) has announced to create 100 Smart Cities across different locations in India. In these Smart Cities, modern infrastructure would be created with introduction of modern 5G network systems. This network system is expected to bring in considerable improvements in the Smart Cities if the security and privacy issues involved in this system can be addressed. This chapter has taken an attempt to identify the critical success factors (CSFs) instrumental to improve this network system within the acceptable level of security and privacy vulnerabilities in Smart Cities of India. To identify the CSFs, different standard methods including questionnaire-oriented survey, brainstorming have been adopted. Interpretive structural modelling (ISM) methodology has been used to find out inter-relationships among the CSFs along with identification of driving forces.

In the initial stages of the adoption and institutionalization of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs), national governments of transitional economies have accepted, developed, and organized Public-Private Partnerships with varying degrees of success. This study aims to investigate the critical success factors (CSFs) influencing the establishment of a sustainable Public-Private Partnership in transition conditions. In the first part of the paper, based on an extensive review of the literature, previous studies and relevant results in this field are presented as a background for this research. In the second part of this article, the survey used a factor analysis, which, with the application of the Principal Component Analysis and Varimax method with Kaiser normalization, has extracted four CSFs: (1) the establishment of a central PPP unit—knowledge center; (2) the establishment of a compatible legal/regulatory framework; (3) development of national PPP policies and strategies; and (4) standardization and transparency of the process. In the concluding remarks, the authors address the perspectives and methodological research constraints, examining possibilities to develop new knowledge and more efficient Public-Private Partnership implementation in the developing PPP markets of transitional economies.

Cleaner Production is an initiative seeking for achieving sustainable development goals. Yet, it has not been satisfactorily disseminated in Brazilian industries. The purpose of this article was identifying the barriers and critical success factors, considering both the external and internal Brazilian environment. A survey was conducted among the professionals involved with the subject of Cleaner Production in Brazil, reaching 185 respondents. Data was analyzed using the Principal Component Analysis. The results indicated that the main success factors concern the organization characteristics, and are related to culture, strategic planning and resources for the implementation of Cleaner Production. In the case of barriers, it can be highlighted the inadequate vision and culture of organizations, followed by the lack of support from the external environment. Contrary to other studies, economic aspects did not seem to be crucial in the opinion of respondents. When measures that can be taken for a more effective dissemination of CP in Brazil are approached, it can be perceived that a repositioning of the external environment (government, other companies, academia, and consumers) is necessary, acting as a strong incentive and support for applying CP.

Previous research works on the integration of e-Procurement technologies in the construction process in Nigeria showed that it has been slow and low. However, there are few empirical studies on the duration for which it has permeated the construction industry, the actual proponents and the metrics that can engender successful integration of e-Procurement technologies, applications, and tools in the construction procurement process, especially in a developing country like Nigeria. The study was aimed at evaluating the critical success factors (CSFs) for e-Procurement adoption in the Nigerian construction industry. The study was carried out in the six geo-political zones in Nigeria using a survey research design. Construction stakeholders were selected using purposive and random sampling techniques. A total of 1092 questionnaires were retrieved in this study, but the data of 759 actual users of e-Procurement systems were analyzed in this study using descriptive statistics and principal component analysis (PCA). An assessment of the duration users have been participating in the e-Procurement environment revealed that most Quantity Surveyors have been exposed to the use of e-Procurement technologies for over 10 years. A large proportion of the construction stakeholders picked up the use of the technology within the last 5 years. Further analysis showed that contracting firms have the largest participation in the use of e-Procurement systems. The study also revealed that construction stakeholders perceived the availability of reliable, affordable, and fast Internet services as the most critical success factor for the adoption of e-Procurement technologies. The critical success factors (CSFs) were further classified into management support for physical infrastructure, and human factors and characteristics of the technology. The study showed that these critical success factors (CSFs) are crucial for the adoption of e-Procurement systems in the Nigerian construction industry. The study recommended that there is still a need for increased awareness of the e-Procurement tools and technologies and the benefits that are accrued from their use among public sector construction participants. This will in turn influence the provision of the required information and communication technology (ICT) physical infrastructure and formulation of appropriate policies and standards for successful e-Procurement integration in the Nigerian construction industry.

In the ‘industry 4.0’ era, the phenomenon of digitalization of smart cities has gained increasing prominence, as it has the potential to address the problem of resource optimization and the pressure of demand of the growing urban population. In the past, smart city initiatives may not have created desired impacts as these initiatives were limited in scope, focusing on physical digital integration of the underlying systems of cities and of their citizens. This article examines the success factors that affect the digitalization of smart cities based on secondary research. To achieve smart cities’ core objectives of increasing quality of living, providing efficient and optimal services, thereby making the functioning of the city smart through digitalization, it is essential to look at these critical success factors, namely, sustainability, ecosystems and digital citizen. The article points out important elements such as lack of governance of sustainability, methods and processes to enhance participation of digital citizens and inadequate knowledge about structures and value creation through ecosystems that would need to be addressed while digitalizing smart cities. Given the required policy attention and focus, these factors would be expected to make smart cities sustainable, improve the quality of life of citizens and create new economic opportunities, while digitalizing them.

There is no doubt that the business performance of the hotel enterprise depends upon the interrelationship of the hotel enterprise and the environment of the hotel industry in which the hotel operates. This environment provides the hotel enterprise with information crucial in guiding the hotel in its activities, thus helping to reduce the level of uncertainty and to improve the quality of strategic decisions. The specific or business environment shaped by the tourist market of the region will also impact on the performance of the hotel enterprise. One very popular interpretation of the enterprise-environment relationship is based on the model of natural selection, which has its roots in the biological theories o f the population evolution. This model focuses on a kind of natural selection according to Darwin’s theory of evolutionary adaptations. By accepting this theory, the hotel industry in our case would encourage only the survival of those hotel enterprises that are capable of adequately adjusting to changes. It should be pointed out that it would be extremely difficult to prepare a complete analogy of all the occurrences in the hotel industry with the theory of evolutionary adaptation. The hotel industry determines the critical success factors, which the hotel enterprise needs to embrace and apply in order to achieve high performance. Innovative hotel enterprises set about systematically combining their assets and their skills, which provides them with the individual competence needed to create and maintain a fairly long-term competitive advantage within their business environment and on the tourist markets. As a rule, it is the innovative hotel enterprise that creates the critical success factors which will become the standards of sound hotel business for all hotel enterprises of the region or country. By identifying the driving forces, it is possible to define the true top-priority strategic issues that need to be solved. These strategic issues can refer to maintaining or improving current strategic positions within the hotel industry or they can deal with selecting new areas of business i.e. new domestic or foreign tourist markets.
