“…This has led to an abundant list of variables [1]. However, project success factors are not universal to all projects, and thus there should be different factors for different kinds of projects [2]. Multiple projects are unique: several projects are "accomplished side by side while drawing resources from a common resource pool" -that is, "the projects are integrated into the management control and reporting system of some common resource pool owner" [3].…”

Keywords project management, monitoring, evaluation, complex networks IntroductionThe utilization of European funds and the participation in international projects is a trivial topic that always comes on the agenda when we talk about European financing. The present study is based on the analysis of project proposals that are submitted for funding by one of the EU educational programs. This analysis broadens our view not only on the utilization of EU structural funds, but also on our participation in large international projects where educational organizations directly apply for the funding of their ideas.The present study aims to reconstruct the relationship between the evaluation criteria of the already assessed projects and thus to show the real objectives that are achieved through the funding of European educational programs, objectives that might differ from those written down in the European papers. The aim of this study is sufficiently important by its own because on the one hand, the research methodology can be used in other areas of EU financing, and on the other, it provides a method of feedback and adjustment of the assessment. In reality, by post-monitoring of the evaluation results within a certain period one can receive a feedback and can make appropriate conclusions and corrections to the methods and actions for monitoring and evaluation. The study achieves other purposes as well -for example, another important outcome from the present research is the knowledge of the mechanisms of connectivity between the different quality assessment criteria, which enables us to create an architectural model of a project proposal that may enhance its competitiveness and efficiency.

“…These groupings are interrelated: a factor in one group might influence a factor in another group (Dvir, Lipovetsky, Shenhar and Tischler [7], Belassi and Tukel [3], White and Fortune [17], and Westerveld [16]). Although each project is unique, similar types of projects may exhibit distinctive patterns of factors associated with success or failure (Pinto and Mantel [11]).…”

Manufacturing companies operate in a business environment where incremental growth may be achieved through expansion and renewal of existing plant and facilities. Effective management of the critical success factors of such capital development projects may also provide competitive advantage. These projects tend to be of a brown-field nature, characterised by a significant level of risk arising from the interaction between the project implementation and concurrent operation of the existing physical asset base. So it is vital to understand the factors that influence the success of capital expansion and renewal projects in the brown-field context. Although each project has unique features, there are critical success factors that can be customised for successful outcomes in the brown-field environment. This study identifies five critical success factors applicable to brown-field capital expansion and renewal projects. Managerial focus on the critical factors, and the prospects for successful brown-field projects, are discussed in the paper. OPSOMMINGVervaardigers funksioneer in 'n sakeomgewing waar voortgesette groei bereik word via uitbreiding en hernuwing van bestaande fasiliteite. Die doeltreffende bestuur van kritiese suksesfaktore van sodanige kapitaalprojekte bied geleentheid vir mededingende voordeel. Projekte van hierdie aard neig om geklassifiseer te word as van herontwikkelingsaard, met betekenisvolle gepaardgaande risiko wat voortspruit uit die interaksie tussen projekimplementering en gelyktydige bedryf van bestaande fisiese bates. Derhalwe is dit belangrik om in die konteks van herontwikkeling aandag te gee aan die kritiese faktore wat 'n rol speel in die bereiking van sukses. Die navorsing identifiseer vyf kritiese suksesfaktore van belang vir uitbreidings-en vernuwingsprojekte.
