A research on project maturity perception of techno-entrepreneurship firms

Abstract

The objective of study is measuring the project maturity levels of technoentrepreneurship (startups) which was established toward technology development, and analyzing the relationship between project maturity levels and demographic features of firms. We used a scale developed by Holmes and Walsh in 2005 to measure project maturity levels. The scale is addressing the maturity levels based on knowledge areas consisting of scope, time, cost, quality, risk, human resource, communication and procurement management. The survey was conducted on the technoentrepreneurship firms located in Turkey. We did correlation analysis on the data in SPSS. The results clearly indicate no relationships between the sectoral differences of firms and project management knowledge areas. Despite we found partly relationship between age and size differences of firms and some of project management knowledge areas, the results dont confirm absolute relationship.
