Abstract

In this paper, productivity and the effective factors are determined in the Iranian construction industry over the period 2006-2012 by the DEA-based Malmquist indices. Moreover, the explanatory factors affecting productivity levels are determined using truncated regression method. The results show that the average of productivity levels has significantly decreased. Although sanction has had significant negative correlations with technology change and productivity change, it did not have an effect on efficiency change. Furthermore, it was observed that the economic recession only had a negative correlation with technology change. It was witnessed that construction companies suffer numerous issues in productivity and lesser flexibility in the execution of projects as they grow in size. It also was concluded that companies located in the capital have more potential to improve their productivity due to easier access to technological advancement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Successful Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation depends upon various factors known as critical success factors (CSFs). This study developed a system dynamics model of ERP implementation based on CSFs to discuss ERP implementation complexities, which identifies the effect of CSF interrelations on different aspects of ERP project failure. Based on the model hypothesis, CSF interrelations include many causal loop dependencies. Some of these causal loops are called mortal loops, because they may cause the failure of risk reduction efforts to a more severe failure in effect of lack of system thinking on CSFs interrelations. This study discusses how system thinking works as a leverage point for overcoming ERP implementation challenges. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
