“…Figure 9 shows how same information is represented in two different format. The main advantages of this card are: (1) a computer can view this information as an explicit tree structure (as shown in figure 8), (2) it can store information in any decentralized location, (3) it can find information and accomplish tasks without human direction (4) computer can extract information from this card using SPARQL query language, discussed in Section 4.5.…”

“…Traditional notions of enterprises with clear boundaries and limited relationships are no longer adequate. In order to compete with the global giants, enterprises are looking beyond self-centred passive environments and are trying to form inter-enterprise networks to succeed and achieve business goals [2]. However, creation of a collaborative alliance is a difficult process that requires strategic and management decision making processes about the selection of partners.…”

Competence is a standardized way to define profile of an enterprise. Understanding and auditing competencies acquired, required and desired by a company and further representing them in a structured manner is a beneficial step for enhancing their performance. Ontology is emerging as an effective tool to structure competences for comprehensive and transportable machine understanding. In this paper, ECOS (Enterprise Competence Organization Schema) is presented as a mechanism to capture enterprise competence in a computer understandable manner. The objective behind this concept is to create a web of machine readable pages describing basic information and competences of enterprises with sets of interconnected data and semantic models. The ECOS ontology captures enterprise competences using a consistent and comprehensive list of concepts and vocabulary and converts them into a semantic web resource using the Web Ontology Language (OWL). The novel concept of an ECOS-card and ECOS-form is proposed and used for developing and publishing enterprise competences. Examples from real life enterprise applications of ECOS are also shown in this paper.

“…Underestimating technical complexity, selling immature products and services, insufficient depth of calculation, unclear specifications, unrealistic milestones with penalties attached, unfavorable contract conditions, and insufficient back-to-back agreements with partners ( [56], [85], [86]). Many of these problems can be avoided or mitigated through the early involvement of the project manager ( [40], [52], [53], [85], [88]). …”

“…In 2005, figures had even increased by 39.5%! Managing knowledge helps companies preserve their competitive advantage, yet many have been slow to develop their own knowledge management systems ( [51]) Because, knowledge is a valuable asset, more and more companies are looking for ways to improve and increase their rate of knowledge creation and sharing ( [52], [53], [54], [55]. A widely adopted definition states that "project management is the coordination of your work and that of others such that organizational objectives can be achieved while meeting time, budget, and quality standards or expectations" (see [18]).…”

Telecommunications industry is currently undergoing a rigorous paradigm shift and value migration from equipment sales towards operations related services ([33] and [ 34] With project complexity constantly increasing ([35], [36], [37])the nature of this new contracting and vendor-operator partnership style becomes insufficient([37], [38], [39], as the lack of disciplined methodology to quantify the directional view of project management, and implementation management ([40], [41]). In response, this research explores the holistic degree to which executive sponsor's role and influence in the planning phase of the service project management lifecycle ([42], [43]) contributes to project performance. Many organizations have embraced the concept of formal project management as a critical element of their organization structure to revive work flow process and improve organizational efficiency ([44], [45], [46]). Other organizations have adopted service project management concept as a means to improve customer relationship and reduce cost [88], and integrated to the concept of the "implementation-oriented sales process" which provides a better basis for closing long-term, stable and profitable operations services transactions ([47], [48]).To construct measures, we proposed the holistic scope and diversified responsibilities of project management practices with the goal to modified skill profile of the individual project management professional, reduce economic losses, improve resource allocations, deliver turnkey infrastructure projects and advance management training ([37], [38], [39], [40], [41], [42]) . From a social change perspective, the use of the measurement scales can provide organizations the "managed services", in dealing with long-term, ongoing operations rather than one-time deployment and commissioning, has been neglected until now ([43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48]).
