...GOAL DEFINITION AND PERFORMANCE INDICATORS IN SOFT PROJECTS: BUILDING A COMPETITIVE INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM (CIS) François Lacasse Université du Québec à Hull INTRODUCTION This paper describes a "soft" project: the setting up of a competitive intelligence system (CIS) in an agency of government. This case serves to illustrate: 1. how project management methods can be successfully applied to situations where the objectives are, at the outset, relatively unclear 2. how success requirements were determined and subsequently used to keep the project on track and how, even in nebulous areas such as "managerial technology," such indicators can be selected and applied 3. how performance indicators need to be tackled early on for purposes of control and, more importantly, for sharpening the planning and implementation processes. After describing the context of the project, we review the project itself. The conclusion draws some lessons on the specifics of managing soft projects. THE CONTEXT AND THE PROJECT The government agency where the project took place is concerned with tourism; its mandate is similar to other governmental tourism bodies throughout the world, that is, marketing and promotion, assistance to private sector industries related to tourism (grants, technical support, standards, etc.). The organization is structured into three divisions: marketing, product development and research, and policy (including most data collection and analysis)...

...“Turkish Airlines experiences rapid expansion”. This is the title of an article appeared on November 14, 2013 in the Financial Times. In the decade 2003-2013 the company expanded enormously, from 65 to 233 aircrafts, the passenger numbers have more than quadrupled and the number of international destinations grew surprisingly from 76 to 199. (See Exhibit 1) At present, Turkish Airlines appears to be one of the most extensive airline companies with 106 connected countries (the last was added in April 2014). It was also acclaimed as the best European company in the last four years consecutively at the Skytrax World Airline Awards, being the third most profitable carrier after Ryanair and Easyjet. The expansion continues: with the project of the third Istanbul’s international airport and the announcements of new destinations to countries like Mexico, Philippines and South Sudan. (See Exhibit 2) How a small Turkish state-owned company became so huge and successful? What are the main challenges it had to face and how did it tackle them? What are the main actual and future issues for a company that is expanding quickly and widely? We will try to give an answer to these questions in the paper: starting from an essential and short presentation of Turkish Airlines historical evolution, making a synthetic overview of its main strategies and analyzing the past and the future challenges in developing countries such as India.

...3 A. 1. FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT TRENDS AND DEVELOPMENTS RECENT TRENDS IN FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT INFLOWS AND OUTFLOWS Global trends 15 Following what seemed to be a swift recovery from the global financial crisis in 2010-2011, global foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows have again taken a downward turn. As the world economic recovery continues to be uncertain and fragile, global FDI inflows have declined by 18%, from $1.65 trillion in 2011 to $1.35 trillion in 2012. Inflows decreased both in developed and developing economies.16 However, while the majority of developed countries experienced a significant reduction in their FDI inflows, by 32% on average, those to developing economies remained relatively resilient, declining by only 4% on average. More importantly, for the first time developing economies alone absorbed more FDI than developed countries, accounting for 52% of global FDI inflows (figure 3.1).
