“…According to Figure 7, automation and information technology have received significant attention after 2002 (Navon and Goldschmidt, 2003). They have been explored with different sub research areas of CPM such as monitoring (Sacks et al , 2003), communication (Ying and Pheng, 2014) and cost control (Navon, 2007).…”

PurposeThis article aims to explore valuable insights into the construction progress monitoring (CPM) research domain, which include main research topics, knowledge gaps and future research themes. For a long time, CPM has been significantly researched with increasing enthusiasm. Although a few review studies have been carried out, there is non-existence of a quantitative review study that can deliver a holistic picture of CPM.Design/methodology/approachThe science mapping-based scientometric analysis was systematically processed with 1,835 CPM-related journal articles retrieved from Scopus. The co-authorship analysis and direct citation analysis were carried out to identify the most influential researchers, countries and publishers of the knowledge domain. The co-occurrence analysis of keyword was assessed to reveal the most dominating research topics and research trend with the visual representation of the considered research domain.FindingsThis study reveals seven clusters of main research topics from the keyword co-occurrence analysis. The evolution of research confirms that CPM-related research studies were mainly focused on fundamental and traditional CPM research topics before 2007. The period between 2007 and 2020 has seen a shift of research efforts towards digitalization and automation. The result suggests Building Information Modelling (BIM) as the most common, growing and influential research topic in the CPM research domain. It has been used in combination with different data acquisition technologies (e.g. photogrammetry, videogrammetry, laser scanning, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors) and data analytics approaches (e.g. machine learning and computer vision).Practical implicationsThis study provides the horizon of potential research in the research domain of CPM to researchers, policymakers and practitioners by availing of main research themes, current knowledge gaps and future research directions.Originality/valueThis paper represents the first scientometric study depicting the state-of-the-art of the research by assessing the current knowledge domain of CPM.

Project coordination is recognized as one of the most important aspects that should be integrated effectively in project management to guarantee project success. In fact, coordination provides organization the ability to integrate heterogeneous activities for achieving specific targets. In project, when teams are built according to cross-functional approach, coordination is required to enhance communication between all project stakeholders. This article is in search of the relationship between specific project coordination mechanisms, adopted by marketing managers to integrate other functional activities, and project communication efficiency. Methodologically, our research was based on a quantitative questionnaire distributed to 107 functional managers involved in cross-funtional project team in Moroccan SMEs. An appropriate statistical analysis was deployed to examine data collected. Findings show the existence of a positive correlation between project coordination mechanisms and project communication efficiency. Besides, the importance given to marketing managers' participation in project meetings was found as a factor impacting the amount of time devoted to. Therefore some insights are emphasized to develop research in this field.

“…The shape of the strange attractor represents specific path of behavior in chaos, a hidden boundary that implies that the system does not wander off into infinity, but that the boundary lives within the system. Although systems' behavior is unpredictable, it does have a hidden pattern, a qualitative shape ( Figure 1) [1]. Lorenz claimed that linear changes are no longer possible, since a small change in a system's initial state, can lead to significant change when observed in long terms.…”

“…Most important concepts of complexity science, and their evolution can be summarised in the Table 1. Complexity science evolution [1] There are different types of complexity, but in this paper authors were focused on structural and dynamic complexity. Analysing only structural complexity (breaking down systems to the smaller constitute parts) can lead to wrong conclusions about system, especially about its change over time.…”

Systems perspective is nowadays expanded to complexity perspective, by including aspects of disorder, instability, nonlinearity, unpredictability, and it is widely applied to different disciplines. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to engineering systems theory by observing projects as complex adaptive systems (CAS). Complexity theory could give some insights in the way organizations interact, relate, and evolve within their environment. Authors of this paper used literature review as a methodological approach, and focused on structural and dynamic complexity of systems. There is a need for understanding complex systems with numerous techniques and algorithms necessary for an engineer to operate in complex and dynamic environments (e.g. production and manufacturing). Implications of this paper could be used as a basis for further research that copes with complexity of CAS, as well as in bridging complexity concepts and managerial reality.
