Relative Importance of Project key Success Factors in Country Specific Context

Abstract

    This research, based on literature review, identifies important project success factors that are clustered under various categories. All project success factors are evaluated by project managers. In order to identify variations among success factors, domestic and international projects are compared. Data is collected from project managers of Pakistani, German and other international companies operating in Pakistan. Results show significant variances in the ranking of factors. The main differences were observed in the national factors where their importance is more in the foreign projects than domestic projects. Results suggest that project managers of international companies shall pay attention to national environment factors for greater chances of getting project success.
