“…CEO birth order is positively associated with strategic risk-taking, with earlier-born CEOs taking less risk than later-born CEOs. Similarly, the authors [67] were focused on the importance of CIO's activities. Their conclusions stressed that managing projects, interacting with top management teams, optimising organisational processes and, last but not least, making strategic decisions are the crucial CIO activities.…”

Age management is becoming an increasingly important part of strategic human resources management practices and can ultimately lead to a competitive advantage. Research results confirmed that a strategic focus on the efficient use of all age categories of employees yields retention, the successful achievement of organisation goals, development, and, ultimately, a competitive advantage. The aim of this article is to identify and evaluate approaches to age management practices in organisations in 1271 organisations in the Czech Republic. Quantitative research was carried out in selected organisations operating over a three-year period. Data was gathered from these organisations and evaluated using descriptive and multidimensional statistics. The results show that those organisations focusing on the application of age management practices achieved a competitive advantage regardless of size or sector of the organisation. Statistical analysis (χ2 test, Cramer’s V, factor analysis) on survey data shows that many of these organisations achieved significant perceived benefits from the application of age management. The approach to age management application varies in organisations depending on whether it is an internal branding of an employer or response to a crisis. Organisations either use of best practices to implement age management or it is a carefully planned process in advance. Follow-up research can focus on the use of age management in crisis management or employer branding. This study is a non-experimental quantitative correlation analysis utilising longitudinal empirical data.

“…Tables 1 and 2 summarize the demographics of the questionnaire respondents and their corresponding companies. The respondents were mainly project managers (52.3%) and chief information officers (19.7%) (PM is one of the most important activities for chief information officers; Varajão et al, 2016). Most of the respondents were male (79.4%), which may give an idea of female representation in PM worldwide.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to increase the understanding of practice in information systems (IS) project management (PM) by analyzing the use of tools and techniques by IS project managers. Design/methodology/approach The authors carried out an international questionnaire-based survey with experienced IS project managers. Findings Results reveal that, notwithstanding the similarities between the tools and techniques used in IS projects and projects from other areas, there are also significant differences concerning those more frequently used. The top five tools and techniques most used are “kick-off meeting,” “progress meetings,” “progress reports,” “requirements analysis” and “activity list.” However, the low use of some tools and techniques, from management areas such as risk and quality management, or related to the project monitoring and control, should raise concern. Research limitations/implications Through the results of this research, researchers, organizations and practitioners can identify ways of developing and enhancing PM by examining the tools and techniques identified as the most used and those that are not being used as frequently as expected. Originality/value It provides a useful benchmarking basis for evaluating the most applicable tools and techniques, designing training and teaching programs and identifying academic research opportunities in IS PM.
