“…Even information that is not connected to the team discussion, can be added to the total team knowledge 6 , without necessarily being linked to prior ideas or knowledge, and can contribute to the promotion of team tasks (Remedios, Clarke, & Hawthorne, 2008: 13). It should, therefore, be insured that -during a project implementationall collaborating members have received, in good time 7 , information relevant to their project (Butt, Naaranoja, & Savolainen, 2016: 1582. The future educators that participated in our research reported also that decreased interest of members on the topic under discussion was to blame for the difficulty of communication among them.…”

The current research studies the hampering of communication among members of a working team in the framework of the application of the project method in training future teachers, through recording the views of students of the Department of Primary Education of Democritus University of Thrace. The anonymous written questionnaire, completed by future teachers that worked in teams during ten programmed weekly meetings, served as a research tool. The results show clearly that the students -during the implementation of the project that they undertook -mentioned that the negative communicational behaviors which took place in the framework of the team member meetings, as well as the conversations among them, disorientated the members from the team goals and disorganized them, without, however, causing problems in team coherence and without negatively influencing their interpersonal relationships. The factors that hampered communication among cooperating members were reported to be the disposition of members as well as the lack of information, while it was stressed that irony, ridiculing and criticism of the other can also lead to hampering of the communication process. ResultsThe results of the present research come from 265 students of the Department of Primary Education of Democritus University of Thrace, out of whom 48 (18.1%) were men and 217 (81.9%) were women. 128 (48.3%) were studying at the 5 th semester, 126 (47.5%) were studying at the 7 th semester and 10 (3.8%) were "out-of-circle" participants. 197 (74.2%) were from 20 to 21 years old, while 68 (25.8%) were above 21 years old. Twelve of the participants were already graduates of another Higher Education Institution and five (5) held a Master's Degree. The research outcomes that emerged from the fields mentioned in the future educator views regarding the hampering of communication that develops among them in the framework of project implementation and more specifically its impact on the smooth team operation and interpersonal relations of its members, as well as the factors that influence communication among cooperating team members, can be outlined as follows:

“…Frequent and thorough communication routines can significantly increase end-users' understanding and use of IS (which many of the SC projects in the case city resulted in) but these routines require planning [5]. We therefore created a communication policy that considers both the intended recipient and different media.…”

Smart cities are characterized by heterogenic stakeholders, many layers of authorities, complex decision-making processes, and competing objectives. As a result, they require a sophisticated and wellplanned governance regime. We describe the development and design of a governance regime which is grounded on IS principles as well as the resulting governance structure in a medium-sized city in Europe. Using the action design research approach, we designed, implemented, and revised in multiple iterations an ensemble artifact consisting of the governance structures and processes for a smart city initiative. Our empirical observations highlight challenges of coordination, communication, and innovation in this smart city and report on how we implemented and adjusted the governance regime accordingly. Our results are a first step towards general recommendations for the design and implementation of Smart City governance regimes in medium-sized cities.

“…A project is a temporary attempt to produce a unique product or service and project management refers to the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to carry out all activities of the project [3] as well as, project is a complex effort involving interconnected activities, with the purpose of achieving an objective [1]. A project performance evaluation dealing with evaluating and rating all tasks [4] help Decision Makers ('DM') through determining the status of the project and its weaknesses and strengths [5] and will help establish benchmarks of high performance projects for cross-learning and identify inefficiencies of low performance projects for potential improvement [6]. Therefore, the importance of project performance evaluation is inevitable and has long been confirmed by practitioners and academics from a variety of functional disciplines [7].…”

A Novel Approach for Evaluation of Projects Using an Interval–Valued Fuzzy Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) Method: A Case Study of Oil and Gas Well Drilling Projects

et al. 2018

Abstract:The beginning of the 21st-century resulted in a more developed multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) tool and inspired new application areas that have resulted in discoveries in sustainable construction and building life cycle analysis. Construction and civil engineering stand for the central axis of a body consisting of a multidisciplinary (multi-dimensional) world with ties to disciplines constituting the surface, and with the disciplines, as a consequence, tied to each other. When dealing with multi-attribute decision-making problems generally multiple solutions exist, especially when there is a large number of attributes, and the concept of Pareto-optimality is inefficient. The symmetry and structural regularity are essential concepts in many natural and man-made objects and play a crucial role in the design, engineering, and development of the world. The complexity and risks inherent in projects along with different effective indicators for success and failure may contribute to the difficulties in performance evaluation. In such situations, increasing the importance of uncertainty is observed. This paper proposes a novel integrated tool to find a balance between sustainable development, environmental impact and human well-being, i.e., to find symmetry axe with respect to goals, risks, and constraints (attributes) to cope with the complicated problems. The concept of "optimal solution" as the maximum degree of implemented goals (attributes) is very important. The model is built using the most relevant variables cited in the reviewed project literature and integrates two methods: the Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) method and a novel interval-valued fuzzy extension of the Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS) method. This model was used to solve real case study of oil and gas well drilling projects evaluation. Despite the importance of oil and gas well drilling projects, there is lack of literature that describes and evaluates performance in this field projects. On the other hand, no structured assessment methodology has been presented for these types of projects. Given the limited research on performance evaluation in oil & gas well-drilling projects, the research identifies a set of performance criteria and proposes an evaluation model using fuzzy Delphi method. An illustrative example shows that the proposed method is a useful and alternative decision-making method.
