A coherent framework for understanding critical success factors of ICT project environment

Although there has been significant research on information and communication technology (ICT) project success, but there are still gaps around this field. Thus, further understanding to ensure the level of ICT project success is still required in both theory and practice. The ultimate aim of this study is develops a coherent critical success factors (CSFs) framework for helping ICT project managers to deal with the complexity of project dimensions which have influenced the shaping of project success. The four consideration points in this framework development are: first, based on a comprehensive success definition as guidance for measuring the critical connection between the success criteria level and the CSFs level; second, integrating coherently four project dimensions for encouraging the high content validity; third, presenting the alternating critical connection between the project success definition and the CSFs determination; lastly, adopting the project stakeholder perceptions from multiple levels of an ICT project organizations environment. However, it is a proposition concept, but this proposed CSF framework is reasonable in the context of the ICT project success improvement.

Issues of e-learning in developing countries: A Nigerian perspective

This study aims to highlight the existing issues of e-learning in the developing country such as Nigeria. As e-learning becomes important in the delivery of education with less consideration for distance, time and cost, however, it is still a dream in some part of the world as some issues are presently unavoidable and rendered this important aspect of knowledge gain a less resourceful in Nigeria as a developing country. Issues such as computer ownership, internet access, epileptic electricity and internet experience are highlighted to have hindered e-learning. This study considered only Nigeria as a developing country; hence having the highest number of internet users in Africa.

Investigating Factors Affecting Knowledge Management and Sharing on Innovation in Universities: Pilot Study

Factors that influence knowledge management (KM) and knowledge sharing (KS) have many potential benefits in the decision-making process for augmenting organizational performance. The main purpose of this study is to examine the antecedent factors that predominately influence academics’ Knowledge management and sharing (KM&S) intention for universities KM practices. The study primarily investigates how and which individual, organizational and technological factors impact on academics’ KS intention. This study has commissioned a Pilot phase with a quantitative technique using PLS-SEM method, deploying IS theory in its research framework. The study empirically assessed using survey data that was collected from 100 academics in two leading public universities in Bangladesh. The study analyzed both Structural model and Measurement model and tested hypotheses. The findings of this study have revealed that 9 out of 12 constructs have influenced significantly on academics’ KM&S intention upon universities innovation.
