The three main purposes of this paper are to (1) identify critical success factors(CSFs) for electronic commerce(EC), (2) investigate the explanatory power of these CSFs on firm performance, and (3) compare differences in evaluating CSFs and explaining impact of CSFs on performance among Korea, Japan, and U.S.A. EC firms. Through a literature review and interviews with managers in EC firms, a list of 16 CSFs consisting of 111 items was compiled. In the second stage, questionnaires were administered to managers of EC companies in Seoul, Korea, Tokyo, Japan, and Texas, U.S.A. Survey results show that CSFs have very significant explanatory power for firm performance in Korea, Japan, and U.S.A. While security, privacy, technical expertise, information about goods/services, and variety of goods/services are the most explanatory CSFs in Korea and Japan, evaluation of EC operations, technical expertise, and ease of use show most explanatory power in U.S.A. In general, respondents in Korean and Japan evaluate CSFs quite differently compared to U.S.A counterparts.

Public-private partnerships (PPP) projects are becoming popular in both developed and developing countries due to their ability to access new financing sources and transfer certain project risks to the private sector. PPP has been an active research area where the concept of Critical Success Factors (CSF) is often discussed by researchers. This study aims to identify the CSFs for various PPP infrastructure projects that have been explored in previous CSF studies. This article reviewed the literature about CSF in PPP projects from the years 2002 to 2021, compared the findings of studies regarding the identified CSFs, and consolidated the CSFs that can be applied to various PPP infrastructure projects. The results showed that dominant research focused on general infrastructure, where CSFs can be applied to all infrastructure sectors rather than any specific sector. The most identified CSFs from the study are favorable and efficient legal frameworks, appropriate risk allocation and sharing, a robust and reliable private consortium, a competitive and transparent procurement process, and political support and stability. The findings from the study can provide an overview of CSFs that are relevant to specific PPP infrastructure sectors like building infrastructure, transportation, water, etc. as well as for general infrastructure. In addition, the results can also be used for further empirical analysis.

Recently, the area of ubiquitous computing has gained a great attention both in academics and in industry. However previous research on this area attempts the categorization in part of context and the critical success factors (CSFs) and services ubiquitous computing unsuccesfully. The purpose of this paper is to propose a framework on ubiquitous computing, including its context, roadmap, CSFs, and services.

Design-build (D&B) has been broadly perceived as an effective project delivery method and become popular in the world. However, the implementation process of this innovative procurement method in Vietnam encounters difficulties due mainly to unfamiliarity and inexperience with the approach. Critical success factors (CSFs) which could be used to enhance the project execution are useful to practitioners in Vietnam if identified. A questionnaire survey was employed to identify CSFs of D&B projects in Vietnam. Parties' competence, especially financial capability, and contract documentation are the most important factors significantly affecting project success. It was also shown that the perspectives of two principal parties in D&B projects on the CSFs are statistically correlated. The identified CSFs were then validated with some various D&B projects. The execution results of CSFs' were compared with the projects' performance measured try key performance indicators (KPIs). The most important success factors of this study were also compared with other countries'. The validation and comparison results provide project participants with some useful information to perform D&B projects better. Practitioners should well perform the identified CSFs to enhance the chance of the success of D&B projects in Vietnam. The findings of this study are useful not only to Vietnamese practitioners but also to others who are concerned about D&B method and plan to employ it in Vietnam in future.

Business intelligence has been attracting much attention these days. Despite such popularity of BI systems, it is widely known that about a half of BI system projects have failed. To grasp why many BI projects end in failure and what factors would make BI projects less failure-prone, a number of BI studies were made to produce a variety of CSFs. However, there is a paucity of information on whether these CSFs are distinctive from those of typical information systems. By identifying how BI CSFs differ from CSFs of typical information systems, we would be able to explain why most BI projects are more likely to be failure. It is believed that a corrective measure about CSFs will lead to more success in future BI projects. In addition, though there have been a number of similar types of BI systems such as decision support systems and executive information systems in existence, there was no study to determine whether there is ever a discrimination between CSFs of BI systems and the similarly-titled systems. This study is to answer these questions using a literature review analysis. The findings of our study are expected to be helpful in a successful implementation of BI systems.

Purpose - This study aims to find if the introduction of project finance perspective leads to any modification to the view of PM industry on CSFs of PPP and their relative importance rank. Design/methodology/approach - Through literature reviews, this study came up with a set of CSFs reflective of both perspectives. AHP method was applied for analysis by developing an Analytic Hierarchical Model from this set and survey questionnaires of pairwise comparison to solicit 46 qualified expert responses. Findings - This study concurs with PM industry to acknowledge 'risk allocation', 'legal framework' and 'quality of feasibility' as ones of most important CSFs. However, relative importance rank of individual CSFs goes through significant modification under this study in favor of 'sponsor commitment and quality' but against 'political environment', in particular. Research implications or Originality - Discussions on the CSFs led by PM industry have not been properly reflective of project finance perspective, which is injected into this study to cure the partiality. For researchers, findings of this study may call attention to financing perspective when they discuss CSFs of PPP. Practitioners may benefit from this study by allocating resources in view of this new finding when pursuing PPP projects.

With a focus on different aspects of PMIS in construction projects, various sets of critical success factors (CSFs) have been suggested in the literature such as IS Success Model by various researchers. It is crucial to explore the relative importance and groupings of these factors. This paper aims to identify CSFs associated with Project Management Information System (PMIS) in construction projects, and explore their ranking and underlying relationship. CSFs for PMIS identified through a literature review, and consolidated by interviews and pilot studies with professionals in construction industry. A questionnaire instrument was sent out to experienced users (Construction Manager and Constructor) in Korea, and 253 completed questionnaires were retrieved. To increase the generalizability of the results, the respondents were spread across construction site. Using factor analysis and considering the high importance of the factor, CSFs were grouped into three dimensions. All these three groupings and their relationship were included in a framework for successful PMIS in construction projects. These findings help to clarify what the high prioritized factors are, and could also be used as an assessment tool to evaluate the performance of PMIS and thus help to identify areas for improvement.

1971년 우리나라 최초의 원자력발전소인 고리 1호기가 착공되어 2015년 현재 24기가 가동 중에 있으며 4기가 건설 중으로 약 40여 년간의 원자력발전소 건설 역사 동안 원전 건설의 성공적인 시공을 위한 CSFs 도출에 관한 연구는 아주 미흡한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 시공단계에서 원전 건설의 성공적인 시공을 위한 CSFs를 도출하기 위하여 기존 연구에서 제안된 원전 및 일반 건설의 성공요인과 고찰한 원전 건설의 시공요인을 바탕으로 원전 전문가와 포커스 그룹 인터뷰를 실시하여 원전 건설의 성공적인 시공을 위한 CSFs를 도출하였다. 포커스 그룹 인터뷰 결과의 검증을 위하여 현재 원전 건설 프로젝트에 참여하고 있는6 14명의 실무 전문가들의 설문조사를 통해 도출한 CSFs의 유용성을 검증하였다. 설문 결과 분석을 통해 합리적인 공사비산정기준 수립, 원전 건설경험 인력 관리시스템 구축 및 활용, 경쟁력 있는 우수 협력업체 발굴 및 육성 방안 마련 및 검사 절차 개선 등으로 작업 대기시간의 최소화 방안 등에 대해 우선 검토 및 개선이 이루어져야 함을 도출 하였다.
