Abstract
While Vietnam’s construction industry offers many opportunities due to its strong economic growth, project management has not been well entrenched. The objectives of this study are to determine the performance level of Vietnam’s projects; investigate undesirable PM practices adopted to achieve project outcomes; and provide recommendations on the way forward for PM in Vietnam. The survey research method was adopted and a structured questionnaire was used to collect data relating to PM practices that were adopted in construction projects. Their performance levels in terms of cost, time, quality, profitability and satisfaction were also determined. The study found that projects in Vietnam performed poorly in terms of time and cost outcomes. Using correlation analysis, undesirable PM practices that are adopted were identified. These relate mainly to cost management and quality management practices. Recommendations are provided to help Vietnamese firms to adopt appropriate PM practices to achieve better performance outcomes.
