“…However, the nature of the construction industry's business environment, which has long been perceived as one of the most dynamic industries [94], has become a highly critical issue for any construction enterprise in being successful and surviving. Achieving success in construction businesses should be based on many factors, which have a direct impact on the performance of organizations [95]. Nevertheless, there is no single-accepted definition of business success [96].…”

A review of entrepreneurship literature suggests that entrepreneurial activities are the most important drivers for economic growth and corporate success, regardless of size, age or industry. Nevertheless, so far, only a few studies, if any, have considered entrepreneurship as a success factor for construction enterprises, although the importance of the construction industry to the nation's economic growth is significant. This paper reports a conceptual framework for formulating the success and survival factors of entrepreneurs in the construction industry. It also integrates four major perspectives in entrepreneurship: entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial organization, entrepreneurial competencies and entrepreneurial environment.

Organizational performance is one of the most important aspects of today's project management research. Many factors can be indicators for organizational performance beyond the financial measures. Predicting the performance will allow the organization to identify the areas with the highest improvement potentials, thus leading to better performance and profit increasing. The fragmented and unique nature of the construction industry was one of the main factors that contributed to the difficulty of the performance assessment. Most of research works have identified the success of organizations in terms of multiple dependent factors that impact organizations' performance and neglected non-financial performance indicators and different functional units based perspectives (e.g. project managers, administrators, and engineers). Therefore, the objective of this research is to identify and analysis the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) to develop a comprehensive performance assessment model(s) based on the values perceived from different function units within the organization.A questionnaire was administered to the organizations' individuals to evaluate these potential CSFs on the organizational performance. The data is categorized into four main response categories based on the function rules responses. A framework for analyzing the data using Fuzzy modeling approach is developed to build a performance prediction model. The model will benefit organizations to predict an accurate performance based on the different organizations' individuals perspective.

“…(2) Competitive strategy, industry position and geographic allocation: each organization has its own strategies and strategic plan due to the nature of the industry in which it operates; (3) Environmental factors: the effects of the environment upon the organization behaviour are essential to understand the CSFs; (4) Temporal factors: CSFs changes with the change of the organization priorities, where the areas of activity for success changes and some activities become more critical and others become less critical (Elwakil et al 2009).…”

Property developers are financially capable of running construction projects. Nevertheless, in Malaysia it was found that many of these construction practitioners failed to provide effective construction management which affected society. The success of a project and its Critical Success Factors (CSFs) are considered as tools to improve the effectiveness of project management. Eventhough many researchers have conducted studies on CSFs, the use of CSFs has remained ambiguous. The main objective of this study is to validate the proposed assessment attributes obtained from the property developers based on CSFs. A questionnaire survey was conducted to validate this predeterminedattributes. Comparison was made with attributes from Project Management Book of Knowledge in order to explore the underlying suitability of the proposed attributes with the study area in terms of climate, economy, etc. Factor Analysis was adopted to investigate the group component relationships. This study focuses on the link between CSFs and the implementation of an effective construction management specifically for property developers in Malaysia.
