The objective of this study was to determine the critical success factors (CSFs), as well as respective best practices (BPs) associated with those factors, using a case survey of the employees of Ford Motor Company working in different development centers around the world. The company's project managers were asked to respond to two structured questionnaires. The results confirm the study's assumption that the order of importance of the CSFs of the automotive industry differ from those of other industries in general. The results also reflect the importance of the front end (FE) phase in the new product development process. Regional differences were also observed. Neglecting CSFs can lead to delayed decision-making, resulting in higher development costs or cancellations of projects.

Learning a foreign language is a time consuming task that requires perseverance, commitment and hard work. The time required to learn a foreign language can range from hundreds to thousands of hours, depending on the language being learnt and the native language of the learner. Two major barriers to learning a language are lack of motivation and time. Spending increasing amounts of time online also has a detrimental effect on learning a language. The global digital language learning industry is growing and the market has more than doubled in size in the last decade due to the world becoming increasingly interconnected. There is a need to provide users with a web browser extension that is both interactive and continuous for learning a language. This paper presents the design and development of a web browser extension that will help facilitate the learning of foreign languages. The web extension overrides the default content when either a new tab or window is opened with interactive language learning material. The web extension is compatible with the desktop version of the Chrome web browser. Each time a new tab or window is opened, a range of language learning material are presented at random, which can be read, understood and completed in 30 seconds or less with immediate feedback. Overriding the web browser's functionality ensures the user is exposed to language learning material.

“…IS projects in other fields share similar aftermath with the healthcare as well. They have bad reputation for exceeding budget and schedule, failure in realizing the expectations and having poor return of investment (Stanley, & Uden, 2013). Literature tells, of 260.000 projects, 25% were cancelled before finish, 47% exceeded the budget (Stanley, & Uden, 2013).…”

Healthcare is a technology-intensive area where all the healthcare organizations use an information system. Managing daily works and providing the continuity of healthcare is impossible without healthcare information systems. Healthcare information systems have to be well supported and managed, also have to be improved to meet the changing needs, they must be living systems. In this respect, evaluations are carried out to reveal the weak and strong sides of information systems in operation. Evaluation is an important subject for medical informatics domain. The investors and managers need to know the success level and poor sides of their information system to make improvements. In this sense, a case study is performed in this study, to evaluate a healthcare information system. Particularly, the recently deployed laboratory information system (LIS) is evaluated by means of questionnaires, applied to both patients and users of the laboratory information system. Laboratory information system is evaluated on the basis of Function sufficiency, Decreasing Work Load, Speed, Learning Ease, Improving Service Quality, Availability, Help Manuals, User Satisfaction, and Patient Satisfaction features. The features needing to be improved in terms of the effectiveness and efficiency of LIS are measured based on the threshold value. The results are presented in a variable table according to the threshold value selected by the evaluator. As the target threshold value increases, the number of features needing to be improved also increases.
