“…The meditative effect of procurement practice on the relationship between e-procurement and procurement performance cannot be underestimated, as this research makes clear. A high level of information management and high-quality processes are required in addition to advanced technology for success (Varajao et al, 2021). Any delays will result in line idling, overtime payments, garment air freight, and lost sales, thus it is imperative to arrange inspection, cutting, production, and finishing as planned.…”

The apparel industry in Sri Lanka is one of the vital sectors in the country’s economyhaving recorded substantial development over the past. The entire procurementprocess of the industry, from the purchase of raw materials through to the delivery ofthe finished product, is crucial to supply chain management and decision-making.Use of electronic procurement technology (EPT), procurement practices, andprocurement performance are the three key factors that affect this process. Thisresearch aims to explore the relationship among EPT usage, procurement practicesand procurement performance of the apparel sector in Sri Lanka. More specificallythe study investigates the mediating effect of procurement practices on therelationship between EPT and procurement performance. Data were collectedthrough a structured online questionnaire from randomly selected 40 supply chainand procurement management staff of three leading apparel companies in Sri Lanka.Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS statistical software with descriptive andinferential statics. The results of the analysis provide evidence for statisticallysignificant positive effects of EPT and procurement practices on procurementperformance. Moreover, the study found a statistically significant mediation effect ofprocurement practices on the relationship between the usage of EPT and procurementperformance. Thus, this study contributes to the literature by providing new insightinto the importance of investments in new technology for effective procurementprocesses.Keywords: e-Procurement, Performance, Apparel industry, Sri Lanka

“…Even though many studies found in the literature show results of software development projects, few studies address the success (socio-technical) of IST projects (Varajão et al, 2021). Considering this reality, based on the case study presented at ECTCH 2021, this study aims to analyze the success of the IST project associated with the viability of a strategic investment related to the digital transformation of the publishing warehouses' group case study.…”

Research purpose. The main objective of this work is to highlight the adoption of project management practices in companies’ digital transformation initiatives as a critical success factor. Thus, on the one hand, we will seek to systematize the importance of project management practices in the digital transformation of economic organizations and, on the other hand, analyze them based on a digital transformation project of one of the largest publishing groups in Portugal. Having previously studied the process of digital transformation of the warehouse through the adoption of a Warehouse Management System, it is now important to analyze to what extent the transformation process was successful and to what extent the management as a project contributed to the achievement of the intended objectives and generated economic value. Design / Methodology / Approach. The first part of the study was carried out through surveys to managers for a general characterization; the second part through the adoption of the focus group technique for analysis and study in greater depth of a case study. In the first phase, the focus group adopts semi-structured interviews with the different managers of the group’s different companies and respective departments. In the second phase, a joint reflection on the organizational and economic value creation was developed based on the different existing perspectives of the digital transformation project. This reflection allowed a more objective analysis of the results obtained, the adequacy of management options, and the deviations. Findings. Technologies analysis investment is a management principle, and the project management approach facilitates this practice. It is essential to carry out a careful project management approach and analyze the economic and financial viability of the investment. The disruptive changes associated with digital transformation make it difficult, and it is not easy to achieve the strategic objectives associated with these investments. So, the adoption of a project management approach seems to be critical for the success of the implementation of digital transformation initiatives. The current study highlights three critical aspects in the global assessment of IST investment: the importance of analyzing the objectives achieved; the importance of economic and financial analysis in determining the return on investment; and the relevance of the analysis being carried out by the stakeholders involved as a way of perceiving, individually and collectively, the diversity of the benefits achieved. Originality / Value / Practical implications. The digital transformation of companies is a current reality and justifies a project approach to guarantee success in economic and organizational initiatives. However, it is important to analyze how management adopts the associated practices and whether it is aware of the importance of evaluating the intended results.

“…Even when defined simply as completed technology that meets contractual requirements, the statistics are concerning. According to the Standish Group's 2020 Chaos Report on software project management (cited by Varajão et al, 2021), 31% of 2020 projects were successful (completed on time with agreed results), 50% were challenged (agreed results not met or not met within scope or schedule), and 19% were abandoned. In other cases less well documented, technology is introduced into the work system but does not integrate well.…”

Despite decades of effort to improve information technology (IT) transition, the success rate remains low with each failure representing substantial losses of time, money, and resources. When technologies do transition, they often are ignored and worked around. Worse, they may disrupt work or interfere with work-system responses to challenges. We posit that a systems-centered approach to transition grounded in complex-systems science and resilience engineering can significantly improve technology adoption rates. To serve as the foundation for this approach, we developed a framework that specifies resilience characteristics of high-consequence work systems. The framework, called the Transform with Resilience during Upgrades to Socio-Technical Systems (TRUSTS) Framework, is the basis for IT development tools and guidance that enable resilience-aware development and transition. The tools and guidance will help development teams design and evaluate technologies that contribute to work system performance during escalated and nonroutine demands and conditions, i.e., to work system resilience.
