“…These two factors are mainly related to contractors and clients in the construction industry [16]. This result is also consistent with previous studies conducted in Iraq (e.g., Aljamee and Naeem (2020), ; Khaleel and Hadi (2017); Mohammed and Jasim 2017) and other developing countries such as Turkey [16], Pakistan [31], Saudi Arabia [18], and Qatar [25]. The low experience of Iraqi construction companies in conducting especially mega-infrastructure and residential projects causes an invitation of foreign construction companies, which leads to transferring financial sources to outside.…”

“…The benefits of BIM such as improving project performance and reducing conflicts, schedules, and cost overruns have been widely proven in several studies [34 ,35]. The lack of high-skilled workers and engineers is another common problem in the construction industry of Iraq [7] as well as in other developing countries such as Nigeria [15] and Pakistan [31]. Investments in digital technologies such as VR/AR systems should be done to improve the skills of the labor force in carrying out special construction tasks and awareness of occupational safety risks, which is highly suggested in previous studies [36][37].…”

Due to the complex structure of construction activities, schedule overruns are inevitable in the construction industry. Particularly, construction projects play a key role in the economic conditions of developing countries. Although several studies have mainly focused on the time delay factors in the construction projects, a study does not exist on providing reliable and applicable solutions based on the eye of expert view. Thus, this study attempts not only to identify the major delay factors but also to introduce a proactive prevention model including long-term strategies and immediate practical solutions to be implemented in the construction industry of developing countries. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 140 experts in the construction sector of a developing country, Iraq. Importance Index (Imp. I) based on the frequency and severity value of each time delay attribute and Relative Importance Index (RII) for suggestions and proactive steps were calculated according to survey results. After identifying major causal factors, strategies, and practical implementations, we developed a proactive prevention model to be utilized in the construction industry. The proposed model includes different practical implementations for ongoing construction projects such as developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based predictive model, using Time Series Analysis (TSA) approach, urgent practical applications, and long term strategies for construction companies to reduce time overruns in construction projects. To realize this kind of proactive prevention model in the construction industry, a data collection and sharing system including all related information recorded in diverse construction projects is highly recommended.

“…In other words, large firms find it difficult to sustain the created efficiency in future periods. This result may be attributable to diseconomies of scale (Shao, 2018) and delayed decision making (Maqsoom et al, 2020). The results further show that firm age is positively and significantly associated with efficiency, in line with the learning‐curve model, which posits a relationship between effort and achievements (Jaber, 2016) as firms become more mature.…”

This paper analyses the nature and degree of persistence of the financial efficiency of the tourism and hospitality industry in China. Efficiency scores and the degree of persistence of firm efficiency are estimated using data envelopment analysis and dynamic panel regression, respectively. The results confirm significant and positive persistence of the financial efficiency of sample firms over 9 years, and support the 'performance-persistence' theory. The findings of this study can help new industry entrants formulate market-entry strategies and make investment decisions. In addition, existing firms can use the findings as a guide to increase their financial efficiency and sustainability.
