Critical Success Factors of the Briefing Process for Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Although various factors have been identified as important for a successful briefing process, few studies appear to have undertaken a comprehensive analysis using factor analysis to systematically categorize the views of ... -
Control Risk for Multimode Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problems under Hybrid Uncertainty
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Risk control in project management has been receiving increasing attention in recent years. This paper proposes an approach based on a risk-assessment program and demonstrates how this can be extended to enhance the multimode ... -
Impacts of Macroeconomic Fluctuations on Insolvency: Case of Korean Construction Companies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The performance of construction companies is closely related to the macroeconomy and is, therefore, subject to macroeconomic fluctuations. That, in some instances, can lead to their insolvency. An analysis of how macroeconomic ... -
Two-Dimensional Globalizing Index for Engineering and Construction Companies
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Increasing globalization is creating both challenges and opportunities for engineering and construction (E&C) companies. Many researchers have examined the drivers and key success factors that enable globalizing E&C firms ... -
Discrete-Event Simulation for Estimating Emissions from Construction Processes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Whereas estimating emissions from construction processes is crucial to evaluating emission-reduction plans, current approaches can only estimate emissions from an average rather than operational perspective due to an ... -
Modeling the Decision-Making Process Concerning Participation in Construction Bidding
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Deciding whether to take part in a bidding has a significant influence on the condition of a construction company. Not bidding deprives the contractor of the possibility of completing a given building project, yet the ... -
Simulation-Based Training for Project Management Education: Mind the Gap, As One Size Does Not Fit All
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Project management training is an important component in engineering education; in particular, simulation-based training (SBT) is considered a valuable teaching strategy. However, the effectiveness of SBT in project ... -
Individual-Level Antecedents of Psychological Empowerment
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)The role of individual factors in organizational behavior has been debated since the 1960s and remains unresolved. Psychological empowerment has been portrayed as holding the key to unleashing individual potential for ... -
Safety Management in Repair, Maintenance, Minor Alteration, and Addition Works: Knowledge Management Perspective
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Safety of repair, maintenance, alteration, and addition (RMAA) works have long been neglected because RMAA works are often minute and only last for a short period of time. With rising importance of the RMAA sector in many ... -
Using Grounded Theory Methodology to Explore the Information of Precursors Based on Subway Construction Incidents
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Precursor management has been studied and applied across a wide range of industries. The findings demonstrate that knowledge of precursors can provide an opportunity to avoid incidents and further safety performance. A ... -
Predicting and Tracing Change-Formation Scenarios in Construction Projects Using the DEMATEL Technique
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Changes are realized as the most common issues during the life cycle of any construction project which may have significant effects on project objectives. Developing a proactive change-management system may decrease the ... -
Performance of Mediator Tactics in Building Management Disputes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2015)Maintenance and upkeep of aged multiple-ownership buildings in good condition are growing concerns for developed societies. Moreover, owners, tenants, and management companies are not always cooperative. Building management ... -
Collaboration Environments for Construction: Management of Organizational Changes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The implementation of a new collaboration environment initiates many changes to an organization and to the end users as a result of the new way of working and the use of new technologies. Unless these changes are well ... -
Rocky Road of Urban Transportation Contracts
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The provision of urban transport services entails several challenges. Past research has been concerned with economic (e.g., tariff setting and financial sustainability), technological (e.g., different modes or energy ... -
Critical Factors Determining Bid/No Bid Decisions of Contractors in Qatar
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)To bid or not to bid for construction projects is a crucial strategic decision for contractors’ sustainability in the industry. The high complexity and uncertainty associated with such a decision-making process, which ... -
Benefit Analysis of Knowledge Management System for Engineering Consulting Firms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Engineering consulting (EC) firms in the construction industry are knowledge-intensive and experience-based organizations. As the knowledge accumulated from previous experiences is the essential asset for wining and managing ... -
Risk Management Strategies for Privatized Infrastructure Projects: Study of the Build–Operate–Transfer Approach in East Asia and the Pacific
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Private–public partnerships have been adopted for the development of public infrastructure to meet the growing demand for public services. Many Asian countries have used the build–operate–transfer (BOT) approach to develop ... -
Effectiveness of Coordination Methods in Construction Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)Proper coordination is critical to the success of construction projects. Relevant studies have addressed the frequency and information quality of communication, but their combination and contribution to the effectiveness ... -
Impact of Design Cost on Project Performance of Design-Bid-Build Road Projects
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2014)The vast majority of highway and street projects in the United States are procured and constructed by state or local governments using the design-bid-build (DBB) project delivery method. In the DBB method, the contractors ... -
