IS project management success in developing countries
The management of Information Systems (IS) projects occupies a
prominent place in research given the need for continuously improve projects
efficiency and efficacy. In the case of developing countries, this is even more
important because projects success rates are typically lower than those of the socalled
developed countries. Projects success is vital to development, because the
countries not only need to use the scarce resources available in the best possible
way, but also must gain trust from populations and investors to continue ensuring
financing for future projects. Note that developing countries’ governments many
times depend on foreign investment to undertake large projects, for instance in the
construction or IS infrastructure sectors. However, there are few known studies
about the success of IS projects in developing countries. To help fill this gap, we
carried out a questionnaire-based survey in four countries. The focus of our survey
was on IS projects from the public sector. This enabled to identify quite low levels
of success, as well as an urgent need for training and education programmes on
project management.IMF -International Monetary Fund(undefined
IT Infrastructures Sourcing Challenges and Practices of Exploration-for-Exploitation in Public Sector Organizations: A Delphi Study
Managing information technology infrastructures (ITI) in an effective manner represents a major challenge for any organization and even more for public sector organizations (PSOs) that often lack IT resources and are constrained by tight budgets. Despite the importance of these challenges for practitioners, there is a limited number of studies in this field. Applying the organizational ambidexterity (AO) lens to analyze IT managers’ practices of ITI in public sector, with a specific emphasis on sourcing practices, the present study seeks to fill this gap. We present the outcomes of a Delphi study that involved 40 ITI experts from three sectors: public, private, and academic. Public sector practices of exploration-for-exploitation sourcing are discussed in this paper
