Summary

Introduction

1.1 BackgroundThere has been a movement within the organizational environment: moving from “managing projects” to “management by projects” (Melton, 2011). The term “Project Management” (PM) has been popularized among several different industries (Fortune et al, 2011) especially in developed countries. Project Management has performed as a distinct management concept, especially in developing countries (Ofori, 2013; Dey, 2001; Hydari, 2012; Larson & Gray, 2011). The term of Project Management is an important term in business process and together with that, it comes along with specific supporting tools and techniques. Vietnam has some misconception in term of Project Management (PM) and Project Management tools and techniques (PTTs). The term “Project Management” in Vietnam has created the awareness in engineering or construction sector. “Project Management” should be understood and applied widely within various business sectors as a temporary organization in the firms (Konstantinou & Müller, 2016; Ling, & Bui, 2009)
