  • software development project success and failure from the supplier s perspective a systematic literature review
    International Journal of Project Management, 2012
    Co-Authors: Jarmo J. Ahonen, Paula Savolainen, Ita Richardson
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper, we consider software development project success and failure from the supplier's perspective. First we clarified concepts in order to be able to exclude review articles on in-house projects, continuous services, the customer's perspective, and software product development, with the aim of providing valid results for supplier firms. We divided success criteria into project success and project management (PM) success, and, in seven articles, identified three success criteria from the supplier's perspective: customer satisfaction, short-term business benefits, and long-term business benefits. In contrast, no definition of software development project failure was found. Articles were found in seven different journals, showing that Knowledge on software development project success from the supplier's perspective is fragmented. This impedes the Growth of Knowledge on this topic.

  • sustainable supplier selection a ranking model based on fuzzy inference system
    Applied Soft Computing, 2012
    Co-Authors: Atefeh Amindoust, Shamsuddin Ahmed, Ali Saghafinia, Ardeshir Bahreininejad
    Abstract:

    In these days, considering the Growth of Knowledge about sustainability in enterprise, the sustainable supplier selection would be the central component in the management of a sustainable supply chain. In this paper the sustainable supplier selection criteria and sub-criteria are determined and based on those criteria and sub-criteria a methodology is proposed onto evaluation and ranking of a given set of suppliers. In the evaluation process, decision makers' opinions on the importance of deciding the criteria and sub-criteria, in addition to their preference of the suppliers' performance with respect to sub-criteria are considered in linguistic terms. To handle the subjectivity of decision makers' assessments, fuzzy logic has been applied and a new ranking method on the basis of fuzzy inference system (FIS) is proposed for supplier selection problem. Finally, an illustrative example is utilized to show the feasibility of the proposed method.

  • Engineering biological systems toward a sustainable bioeconomy
    Journal of Industrial Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Mateus Schreiner Garcez Lopes
    Abstract:

    The nature of our major global risks calls for sustainable innovations to decouple economic Growth from greenhouse gases emission. The development of sustainable technologies has been negatively impacted by several factors including sugar production costs, production scale, economic crises, hydraulic fracking development and the market inability to capture externality costs. However, advances in engineering of biological systems allow bridging the gap between exponential Growth of Knowledge about biology and the creation of sustainable value chains for a broad range of economic sectors. Additionally, industrial symbiosis of different biobased technologies can increase competitiveness and sustainability, leading to the development of eco-industrial parks. Reliable policies for carbon pricing and revenue reinvestments in disruptive technologies and in the deployment of eco-industrial parks could boost the welfare while addressing our major global risks toward the transition from a fossil to a biobased economy.
