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.

Contracting firms in Nigerian Construction industry require different techniques, knowledge, assets and capabilities with the end goal to rival each other effectively. Vision, resources, assets, abilities should be created inside, or got by means of a progressive association with another contracting firm using project alliance. The utilization of project alliances in construction industry has expanded pointedly throughout the most recent years and they are especially viable in helping contracting firms to keep up an unrivaled aggressive position in unique situations. Be that as it may, many contractors think that it’s hard to alliance with other individual contractors in accomplishing certain objectives. By so doing, this paper has drawn a survey study on the critical success factors for project alliance among contractors in Nigerian Construction industry which will reflect more on how useful project alliance is in the real practices among contractors in the construction industry. It was uncovered in the findings that if mutual-trust can be realized, the project alliance is likely to be successful among construction contractors in Nigeria.  It was additionally uncovered in the findings that best contracting approach for Nigerian contractors in the construction industry is for them to share and transfer much of the risk among themselves in order to achieve successful project alliance. Moreover, Government support and contract binding will enhance the project alliances among contractors. The study recommends that contractors should try to devote considerable time to plan thoroughly to achieve successful project alliance; quality understanding, communication between contractors will help to dissolve mistrust and doubt; federal government should encourage project alliance between contractors with solid contract bindings.

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.

Starting Point

Catering to Halal in the industry requires the explicit adoption of Halal Logistics (HL) to avoid the risk of cross-contamination and ensure that Halal products are safe, hygienic, nutritious, pure, unadulterated, and consistent with their labelling. We identify the need for meaningful research constructs relating to the appropriate adoption of Halal logistics through an extensive literature review. This paper identifies Critical Success Factors (CSF) and develops corresponding constructs that are fundamental for understanding the adoption of Halal logistics. This research also identifies the stakeholders involved and their objectives to facilitate the system design. As a starting point, from the existing literature, we adopt a structural model of CSFs to implement Halal Logistics. After that, this paper identifies and validates these CSFs with the support of extensive literature-based reviews, senior managers of Halal exporting organisations, Halal accrediting bodies, and professionals working in logistics and the cold chain. The research findings indicate that logistics service providers need to successfully upgrade their facilities to adopt Halal practices in their operations. Moreover, the role of governments is to reduce bureaucratic complexity so as to improve the ease with which businesses can implement HL. It becomes clear, from the analysis, that logistics service providers have the most prominent role in the effective adoption of the Halal supply chain. Consumers have a more prominent role than government support in the growing market of Halal products. This paper contributes to the identification of stakeholders’ objectives, which will facilitate the efficient adoption of Halal logistics and provide a direction for undertaking associated future work.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss rankings of critical success factors (CSFs) from survey data, both with respect to what information such rankings should be based on and how to evaluate and interpret uncertainty from sampling errors. Design/methodology/approach The authors conducted a survey on CSFs in public facilities management. The survey data set covers two-thirds of all Norwegian local governments and 80 per cent of the Norwegian population. The authors analyze the data using basic statistics and bootstrap sampling techniques. Findings Rankings of CSFs are sensitive to the information one chooses to collect in the survey. With the survey data, the authors show that the typical approach of inquiring about importance of various factors leads to a different ranking of factors than if one inquires about cost efficiency. The authors further consider a ranking that reflects all information in the data; the authors look in particular at a ranking with equal weights to importance and cost efficiency. The authors also find that many factors, when controlling for sampling error, should be ranked equally, and that further considerations need to be consulted when priorities are decided. Originality/value The authors demonstrate the effect of cost efficiency and uncertainty considerations on rankings of CSFs for facilities management. The study paves the way for a broader and more comprehensive perspective on CSFs and what these factors should and could reflect.

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.
