...Project management competence in public sector infrastructure organisations PANTALEO MUTAJWAA DANIEL RWELAMILA* Graduate School of Business Leadership, University of South Africa, PO Box 392, UNISA 0003, South Africa Received 3 June 2006; accepted 2 November 2006 Public sector organisations responsible for infrastructure development in most non-industrialised countries, which include infrastructure departments/ministries, parastatal organisations and other statutory organisations qualify as project-oriented organisations (POO). There are strong indications to suggest that these organisations’ project management (PM) competencies leave a lot to be desired. At face value they purport to be fully fledged project-oriented organisations and performing as competent PM organisations, while in reality they are predominantly dependent on accidental project managers. This paper reports on a study that was carried out in one of the large infrastructure departments in South Africa. The focus is on one of the premiere programmes managed by the department. The management of the programme is scrutinised in order to establish the department/ministry’s PM competence. An evaluation of the performance of the programme was carried out in relation to the ministry’s mandate in order to assess its PM competence. It is found that the programme in its current form could be described as a ‘white elephant’ and a programme that does not have an appropriate organisation structure, nor appropriate...

...RUNNING HEADER: Social, Political and Economic Forces Explain how social, political and economic forces have influenced organization and the practice of management Maxine Williams Portmore Community College, Old Harbour 3 December 2009 Introduction The social, political and economic forces do indeed influence how organizations operate as well as the practice of management. When an organization plans to conduct marketing activities or expand its market, it is recommended that they conduct SWOT analysis to find out its strengths, weakness, opportunities and threats in order to move forward. They do this by evaluating the social, political and economic forces in the environment. In addition, the practice of management is influenced by the social environment e.g. cultural climate in a country and an organization. It is further influenced by the political environment such as trade regulations, wage legislation, political instability et al. The economic factors will also influence the practice of management by the economic growth rate, labour costs, the skill level of workers et al. The author will discuss these factors in greater detail throughout the body of the paper. Defining the Social, Political and Economic Forces The social environmental factors include the demographic and cultural aspects of the external macro-environment. These factors affect customer needs and the size of potential markets. Political factors include government regulations...

...Construction Management and Economics (May 2004) 22, 347–356 The development of the construction legal system in China LAM YOW THIM and CHEN ZONGGUI School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Received 2 December 2002; accepted 29 May 2003 China has been developing at an amazing speed since it carried out reform and open-door policy in 1978. Construction industry is playing a leading role in the rapid Chinese economic development. At the same time, China has also worked hard to encourage overseas investors to expand their investment in the construction industry. With its development over the years, China has established a legal system for governing construction activities. To participate in such a major market in the world, it is important to understand the legal system governing it and the impact of China’s joining the World Trade Organization. The Chinese construction laws and practice are still very different from the international norm. If foreign participants are to make a success out of doing business in China, they must understand the Chinese way of life. Particularly, they must prepare to adapt to an environment where new rules are created as circumstances and situations change. Keywords: Construction laws, legal system, construction industry, China, foreign investment, foreign designers and contractors, World Trade Organization (WTO) Introduction China has been developing at an amazing speed since it carried out...

...“Economics of IT Security Management” 1) The article questions the loss estimate obtained from CSI/FBI security surveys since they exclude some categories of costs associated with security breaches. It suggests that cost estimate based on the loss in capital markets as a result of a breach in security may be a proxy to estimate true cost of security breaches. a. What do you think about the quality of this cost estimate? Can you think of better ways to capture true cost of security breaches? Although I can see the benefit to utilizing capital market losses as a basis for estimating the true costs of a security breach because it attempts to capture the intangible costs of a breach, there is a great deal of uncertainty in the market and market share may go up or down as much based on the public perception of company’s ability to handle the situation as the damage done by the event itself. Additionally, the marketplace is often affected, in the long term by a multitude of indirect factors that skew the data; the price of fuel, socio-economic instability or new laws/regulations in parts of the world where they have warehouses or production facilities, natural disasters etc. Furthermore capital market changes only capture the effects of those security breaches that are publicly reported. Privately held companies are not subject to many of the laws and regulations that compel larger businesses to self-report and even when companies are required by law, to report security...

Never be afraid to take a moral or ethical stand on something you believe in your gut to be right. Stand up and be counted. 3. Someone has to lead, in the absence of authority---take Charge. 4. “Band of brothers” is not just a line from Shakespeare’s Henry the V. We are a “Band of brothers,” so, like a brother, never turn your back on a fellow firefighter. 5. Always strive to be tactically and technically proficient in all you do. The price of anything less is far too costly. Our environment is uncertain and lethal. Never let it be said that you lost a man or a woman because you failed to do your homework. 6. I will listen to and help any person, anytime. I expect my subordinate leaders to do the same; however, every member of our team must reach out and grab the “offered hand.” 7. Everything I do must prepare myself and my team for mission success and survival. Our enemies must understand that they have but two choices---“make peace or die.” 8. Take care of our families. Stress at home tears at the fiber of our organization. 9. I will hold myself accountable for all I do and don’t do.
