“…The same will arguably apply to project teams where behavioural response to the daily tensions associated with the need to balance opportunity exploitation against its exploration by individual project managers (Turner at al., 2013b) and project team members (Liu and Leitner, 2012) is expected to contribute to project success. The literature also suggests that the set of characteristics of individual project managers is a contributing factor to the success of projects (Chipulu et al, 2013;Petro & Gardiner, 2015). Similarly, project stakeholder theory suggests that individual stakeholders contribute significantly to project success (Ojiako et al, 2015).…”

The objective of this paper is to explore a project-focused understanding of contemporary organisational ambidexterity literature. As part of this process, a taxonomical analysis of the elements and components of the concept of organisational ambidexterity is undertaken. Findings suggest that a project-focused notion of organisational ambidexterity involves different levels, dimensions and mechanisms. The predominant contribution of this paper resides within the taxonomy study, which provides a platform for a more holistic understanding of organisational ambidexterity as a multifaceted concept applicable to the project management discipline. * Those studies marked with an asterisk (*) were the ones filtered through to step 6 of the systematic analysis

“…In another similar research, the same researchers developed a model for design and construction contracts through application of regression (Lam et al, 2008). In another research, Cheung et al (2008) On the other hand, several methods have been used for anticipation as follows,  Time series (Hwang, 2011;Wong et al, 2007)  Various regression methods (Cheung et al, 2010;Hwang, 2008;Wang & Gibson, 2010)  Neural networks (Cheung et al, 2006;Chua et al 1997;Ko & Cheng, 2007;Wang & Gibson, 2010)  Fuzzy logics (Ko & Cheng, 2007;Li et al, 2006;Young & Poon, 2013) In previous researches, most researchers and authors have recommended future researchers to provide their anticipator models with respect to things like localization in other countries, application of more precise and simple methods and a model for different phases of a project (Bygballe et al, 2010;Chang et al, 2013;davis, 2013;Eigbe et al, 2014;Han et al, 2007;Han et al , 2007;Petro & Gardiner, 2015).…”

As construction projects are becoming more deployed and more complicated at the same time, having an instrument for anticipation of success has become a primary requirement for every stakeholder. On this basis, several models have been introduced which implement different methods for anticipation of the entire goals or a series of goals of projects. In this research, at the first step, 16 criteria as instruments of anticipation of success and 33 factors as required instruments for obtaining success were extracted through library studies, semi-structured interviews and the Delphi method. At the next step, by having 169 questionnaires filled by senior managers of construction projects, the importance and priority of each of these 16 criteria and 33 factors for the initial phases of projects were determined according to Iran's local conditions. Ultimately, through modeling of data by a propagation neural network including 35 hidden layers, the anticipator model for success of construction projects during their initial phases was developed with Performance and Regression. This model is able to anticipate the level of realization of projects' success criteria according to the level of realization of success factors at the initial phase.

“…Table 1 the degree of newness and competitive advances of product development activities are discussed to form a foundation for discussing product development activities. Classifying product development activities in accordance with the degree of newness is not a new challenge and it has been considered for decades by different studies theoretically and by different companies empirically (Wheelwright and Clark, 1992;Garud et al, 2015;Petro and Gardiner, 2015) while it is not only an important issue for strategic allocation of a company's resources but a pivotal subject for operating product development activities (Salerno et al, 2015). Different studies have suggested product development activities in line with the technology maturity by their degree of newness (Table 1).…”

This study aims to capture changes and priorities in product development activities over technology life-cycles. The product development activities are observed through the targets of performance maximising, cost reduction and customisation. Seven models of technology life-cycles are considered to keep track of technology changes over time by following patterns for product development activities. The empirical part of the study is based on analysing a high-tech infrastructure provider on four technology generations. This study depicts different trends of product development activities over technology life-cycles. Different technology generations can have positive and negative interactions which can be strategically beneficial. The managerial implications of this study include comprehensive insights of concurrent technology generations in the context of technology life-cycles which can be beneficial for companies product development planning.Keywords: product development; technology life-cycle; cost; customisation; technology generations; growth; maturity; declining technology; embryonic; technology gap; high technology.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Shahmarichatghieh, M., Härkönen, J., Haapasalo, H. and Tolonen, A.
