“…For this study, we have conducted literature review because it provides important information about research areas, especially helps in the theory development and also research gaps where more work is required [16]. Before conducting any literature review, brainstorming, formation of keywords, searching material on internet (scientific search engines) and databases, time duration (period) for data collection are important elements [16][17][18].…”

“…For, data collection we used university digital resources that is Web of Science database because it contains journals and conference papers of science technology and social sciences domain. [16,17] Our paper selection criteria for this study was to select only those articles which are published in journal and conference and also listed in Web of Science database within period of 2010 to 2015. By using clustering and theory creating method of Grönlund and Andersson [16,21], we wrote all themes mentioned in selected articles (from both journals and conferences) and then we grouped them with respect to each main topic.…”

Technology plays a vital role in every field of life especially in business and education. Electronic commerce (EC) begins in the year of 1991 right after internet was introduced for commercial use [1]. It is known to be the 12th five years' plan (2011 to 2015) of Chinese Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The main objective of this study is to highlight the latest academic research trends on different topics or themes of EC in China by using university digital resources that is digital library. In order to obtain these latest academic trends, we have conducted bibliometric study and collected data from digital library for last six years i.e. from 2010 to 2015. The main motivation to choose this research topic and China was the worldwide reputation of this country, as top EC country in the world due to its high number of online users, and also impact of five years' Chinese government EC plan and policy. So, due to these facts we have established our research questions related to EC research trends in China to explore the answer of our Research Question: What are the latest research trends in the field of electronic commerce in China since 2010? As we wanted to know the answer thus we collected data through digital library and analyzed them fully to get a brief outlook about this EC trend. Result showed that a lot of research was already conducted on EC topics in China on different themes during the said duration. We can conclude that, this research trends showed that EC is a potential research field in China due to government five year EC policies or plan and to promote IT culture in Chinese society. This research provides guideline to the government IT policy makers and also academia researcher to be more focused on few topics or themes, where China is lacking behind, as leading EC country in the world.

“…The Ministry of Science and Information Technology reported that out of every 10 projects 4 fail, which is a huge loss to the economy. During last two decades, IT industry in Pakistan is growing hastily and statistics shows that many of IT projects fail before completion (e.g., Butt, Rafiq, Aslam, Ahmed, & Ayyub, 2014;Ali & Naseem, 2016;Abbas, Faiz, Anam, & Ander, 2017;Butt, 2017). IT projects are in chaos and they fail mainly due to lack of planning (Whittaker, 1999;Zwikael, Pathak, Singh, & Ahmed, 2014;Ahimbisibwe, Tusiime, & Tumuhairwe, 2015).…”

We are investigating the relation of project planning with project success and introduce project risk as a moderator. We examines how different dimensions (organizational, people, technical and technology, project management, economic and stakeholder) of project risk determine this relationship. A survey is carried out from information technology professionals from 20 registered firms in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Technology Board (KPITB). We find that overall project risk has significant moderation impact on the relation of project planning with project success. Information technology (IT) professionals of KPITB plan risk related project management. Technical, technological and economic aspects are detailed and insights on how other risk factors affect project success in IT sector include in the study. Our research highlights the significance of planning in the presence of risk.
