“…However, the results showed that there is a negative relationship between the degree of cultural diversity and output, productivity and efficiency. Ramosa and Mota (2015) explored how cultural perspectives can influence the perceptions of project success. This paper provides more insight into the effects of cultural perspectives in Brazilian companies and presents findings from an exploratory study that investigated how Brazilian information technology companies perceive project success and failure and then makes inferences regarding the cultural factors.…”

Purpose Engineering-procurement-construction (EPC) projects in the oil and gas industry are special projects involving diverse cultures, behaviours and complexity in global business. Among these elements, culture is a crucial factor contributing to project performance. Several studies have been conducted on culture and its impact on project performance, especially in construction. However, studies on the cultural factors affecting EPC projects have not yet been carried out, especially for projects in the oil and gas industry. Thus, this study aims to explore and identify the cultural factors that affect the performance of oil and gas EPC projects in Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach In all, 60 people with experience in EPC projects were interviewed for the study. Axial and selective coding were used to build the final grounded theory. Findings The research findings show that the main cultural factors affecting the performance of EPC projects are leadership, organisation, planning, communication, human resources, goal and orientation. Originality/value This study provides empirical evidence for the importance of cultural factors that affect the success of EPC projects. It can serve as a guide on how to manage EPC projects and how to overcome the cultural difficulties in oil and gas EPC projects in Vietnam.

“…There are different definitions and criteria for measuring the project success [8][9][10]. Ramos & Mota, 2016, stated that there is a different point of view on project performance for every project stakeholder. E.g., the project manager and the team members of a project may consider it successful while it may not be successful for the CEO [11].…”

This study aims to identify the effect of poorly written requirements specifications of software development and its continuous changes; on information systems' projects success and its influence on time and cost overrun of the project based on empirical understanding in practice. As the world is moving towards the internet of things and due to the dramatic increase in demand on complex information systems projects, the development of information systems became more difficult and handling the customers' requirements became very challenging. This research follows a conclusive design, Using a descriptive research design was held first to reveal and discover the characteristics of a good requirement, and then a quantitative method was used through conducting questionnaire and distributing to more than 400 participants in the software industry in Egypt, to understand the relationship between variables and how to improve the quality of data based on real world observations or experiment. The data collected was analyzed using python and R analysis techniques. The results indicates that, the organizations with the highest quality of requirements and less requirement volatility, have higher software success rates in terms of Project's efficiency as well as Business and direct organizational success, while the requirements volume doesn't have significant effect on success rates. From this analysis we developed an initial model.

“…If we would like to measure "use," "user satisfaction," and "net impacts," we must be aware that these three characteristics can be viewed from different stakeholder perspectives [92], [100], [102]: individual, organizational, industrial, and even global. As an example, the web has individual users, but is also used by organizations and globally.…”
