“From the Industry for the Industry as a Success Factor”

Public-Private Partnerships (PPP) have been common in civil engineering works involving public and private sectors. PPP manages complex projects and involves multiple stakeholders. Stakeholders in the PPP projectneed to be properly managed to achieve project goals, minimise risk, andaccommodate stakeholders' interest. Poor management of stakeholder could lead to project failure. Hence, this paper aims to identify stakeholder management's success factors towards successfully delivering PPP infrastructure projects in Malaysia. A quantitative approach via questionnaires survey was conducted on 70 respondents from multiple stakeholders'backgrounds, namely public authority, consultants, contractors, and financiers involved in PPP infrastructure projects in Malaysia. The survey was provided to the respondents with a list of the success fa ctors. The responderswere asked to rate thesuccess factors contributing to successful delivery factors for stakeholder management based on the scale provided. The result concluded from four (4) stages of stakeholder engagement: stakeholder analysis,stakeholder engagement, stakeholder management action plan, and monitoring. A list of success factors for successful stakeholder management was developed by showing the relationship between stakeholdermanagement and success factors. This component encapsulated the success factors perceived as the success factors contributing to the successful delivery of stakeholder management in Malaysia. The finding highlights on four (4) stakeholder management issues that need to be focused in PPP infrastructure projects. These include the need for a goodstakeholder management process, the strategy to engage thestakeholders through clear and honest communication, a proper project communication plan to oversee overlapping in the process, and to monitor relationships of stakeholders during operations.

Based on the analyses For the major success factors based on priority ranking the Projects related factors was the most important success and delays factor, while the factor Human Related was the lea important factor being evaluated For the humans related factors the sub factor “coherent team.” was the most sub factor evaluated , For the organizational and managerial sub factors “Functional manager support” was the most sub factor evaluated finally For the materials sub factors “Availability of materials” was the most sub factor evaluated?

Purpose The adoption of circular economy (CE) practices in the construction and demolition (C&D) sector remains limited, primarily due to a lack of practical knowledge about critical success factors, tools, techniques, and enabling technologies. Despite its strong potential to support Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), CE implementation faces several barriers. This study aims to empirically identify and analyze the key success and failure factors, benefits, tools and technologies essential for effective CE adoption in C&D organizations, with a focus on enhancing global waste management practices. Design/methodology/approach A pilot survey was selected as the most suitable methodology, given that CE adoption in the C&D sector is still in its infancy. The survey targeted a diverse group of professionals, including managers, architects/designers, manufacturers, suppliers, engineers, contractors, facility managers and CE experts from the large enterprises and SMEs worldwide to collect relevant research information. The structured questionnaire was distributed to 300 participants and received 109 valid responses over a six-month period. Findings The study findings reveal that “Developing a market for circular materials and products” is a key success factor for CE adoption. Conversely, the most significant failure factors are “Limited market demand for secondary or recycled materials” and “Reluctance to use recycled products due to perceived quality concerns”. The results further highlight that successful CE implementation leads to greater conservation of natural resources, a reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, improvements in public health, increased promotion of recycled materials, and enhanced regulatory compliance. Additionally, the analysis identifies artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, vision-based robotic systems and digital twin as the most prominent technologies playing a crucial role across all stages of the CE adoption framework. Research limitations/implications The study is limited by its sample size, as CE adoption in the C&D sector is still in its early stages, making it challenging to collect extensive data. Non-parametric methods were used for analysis. Future research should incorporate larger and more geographically diverse samples to explore cross-regional variations and enable parametric analyses for deeper insights. Practical implications The findings provide actionable insights for managers, planners, decision-makers, and researchers to understand the critical success and failure factors before implementing CE within their organizations. Additionally, the study helps convince top management of the benefits of CE adoption by presenting a comprehensive overview of its advantages. Furthermore, the research offers guidance to decision-makers in selecting the most appropriate Industry 4.0 technologies for each stage of the CE adoption framework. Originality/value This is the first global empirical study that integrates success factors, failure factors, and benefits of CE adoption in the C&D sector while examining the application of Industry 4.0 technologies across all stages of the CE adoption framework. The research contributes to both theoretical and practical understanding, offering a strategic roadmap for effective waste management in the C&D sector.

PurposeThere is a limited number of research work on critical success factors (CSFs) in public construction projects in Saudi Arabia. In response to this knowledge gap, the objective of this paper is to assess the impact of CSFs on the government construction projects in Saudi Arabia. The success factors are investigated from a broader consideration of failure criteria, from consideration of most effectiveness in successful project completion and also from consideration of the impact of implementing control processes for successful project completion.Design/methodology/approachThis study has analysed the impact of success factors on construction projects in Saudi Arabia using a descriptive methodology. An exhaustive literature survey is undertaken to identify the success and failure factors related to government construction projects in Saudi Arabia. The survey data are sorted out and analysed by cost, schedule, technical, context and finance dimensions of the projects based on project types, engineering complexity, size, modality, jurisdictional control and funding approach. To evaluate the influence of success factors implementation, qualitative data were collected in a survey via a web-based questionnaire that was sent to officials working and occupying a responsible position in national project guidelines organizations and in government construction organizations in Saudi Arabia. In all, 28 CSFs were identified, ranked and evaluated for their impact on project success. The four identified factors belong to process categories of construction projects, nine factors belong to management of construction projects and 15 success factors are identified for impact assessment of implementation in construction projects.FindingsThe study's findings have identified and ranked the top five CSFs that significantly influence project outcomes, including meeting time targets, adhering to financial budgets, delivering desired outcomes for all stakeholders, effectively managing risks and assembling the appropriate team while optimizing resource allocation. Additionally, the research indicates that hindrances to projects primarily stem from execution, economic, human and political factors. The study advocates for strict controls over incomplete engineering designs and advises against contractors independently handling design work to ensure project success. Additionally, addressing contractors' qualifications and financial matters is crucial for project success. By highlighting these CSFs and challenges, the research provides actionable insights to enhance project management practices in the construction industry.Research limitations/implicationsThis study is limited to the infrastructure projects constructed by governmental bodies with the participation of officials from government organizations. Further study, including private projects and officials working on private projects, may be needed to generalized the research outcome.Originality/valueNumerous studies have investigated CSFs in construction projects, but few have examined their relevance to Saudi Arabian government projects. This study aims to fill this gap by identifying key CSFs specific to Saudi Arabian public sector construction projects and assessing their impact on project success. It advocates for stringent controls in the Saudi Arabian construction sector, emphasizing the importance of preventing incomplete or altered engineering designs by contractors to increase the success rate of public sector projects. This research offers practical insights to stakeholders, advancing project management practices in Saudi Arabia's construction sector for improved outcomes and resource utilization.

The study is conducted in Saudi Arabia, taking into consideration the aspects that influence small enterprises' success. Originality / value – Numerous studies have contributed to the development of SMEs conceptualisation, and many studies have examined the success and failure factors that affect SMEs. Having said that, noticeable scarcity of studies examining SMEs' success factors in developing countries and in Saudi Arabia in particular elaborates the contribution and value of the study.

Street food sector is rapidly growing large informal sector in Sylhet, the holy land of Bangladesh. This study attempts to investigate the success and failure factors of entrepreneurs in the street food sector of Sylhet. The study was descriptive in nature and both qualitative and quantitative data were used. In this study, a total of 50 entrepreneurs of street food business were interviewed on the basis of convenience sampling (non-probability sampling technique) from Sylhet district. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data from the entrepreneurs with a face to face half an hour interview. Mean, mode, percentile, standard deviation were used in the data analysis. The findings of the study divulge that most of the entrepreneurs of street food sectors are young and male. The study also depicts that lack of experience of the entrepreneurs is the main failure factor of this sector. Along with this insufficient capital, a large amount of bribe, intense competition, undefined location are the key failure factors of this sector. On the other hand, the key success factors include easy formation, lower startup cost, less paperwork, fewer employees. The study also interprets that the government has less regulation in this sector, which is also a crucial success factor in this sector. For the development of this sector, the local government authority should provide some specific location for this sector. A large amount of bribe in this sector also needs to be controlled. The banks and other financial institution should provide SME loan to the entrepreneurs. The study will helps local government authority, policymakers, academician and interested persons to get a better insight into this sector.
