The government of India has increased its focus on investment in infrastructure, allocating US$ 130.57 billion in 2022-23 for the sector. Effective project management is crucial for success. However, despite a huge body of knowledge on project success, project delays persist, with 33% of projects delayed by an average of 47 months as of August 2021. This study aims to identify Critical Success Factors for contemporary construction projects in India, offering guidance for project stakeholders. Forty-five attributes of project success were collated from literature and expert discussions and a questionnaire survey was conducted to solicit the views of experts on the critical impact of these attributes on overall project success. The research posits that these attributes have underlying constructs that cause them. Factor analysis was employed to extract the underlying constructs. Six critical success factors (CSF) were extracted. To comprehend the relative importance of the factors, RII was employed on summated factor scores that were then ranked in order of their importance. ANOVA showed consistent assessments of the CSFs across professional roles and geographies. The findings are expected to aid project professionals in prioritizing key factors for optimal project management and successful outcomes.

Covid-19 has been causing a large-scale pandemic, along with the rapid development of information technology. Information technology means such as digital applications will be one of the effective tools to help manage public investment and investment in general in Vietnam. Public investment management at autonomous universities in Vietnam is in the final stage of completion in terms of procedures, legal documents, and implementation.

According to research findings, the capacity of public investment management agencies at autonomous universities; Distribution of funds for the implementation of public investment projects; administrative procedures, legal provisions, and the actual context affect public investment management at autonomous universities in Vietnam. With Standardized Coefficients = 0.482, distribution of funds for implementation of public investment projects at schools at autonomous universities were the most influential factors. The research results are the foundation for proposing solutions to improve the efficiency of public investment management at these universities in Vietnam such as promulgating legal documents, building public investment management processes suitable to the characteristics of universities, developing, and proactively implementing works in investment management and operating results of public investment in autonomous University.

This paper is aimed at reviewing present state of the art (1998-March 2019) on the impact of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). It includes critical success factors and critical failure factors. The technique depends on writing survey for optional information gathering. It characterizes the expressions that are utilized to get explore papers from databases and advanced studies on the ERP implementation in SMEs. It additionally incorporates the consideration and prohibition criteria to im-prove nature of papers. At that point methodical audit is made on the accessible papers to research the effect of ERP usage in SMEs. Critical factors are identified for success and failure of ERP implementations and actual impact of the same on SMEs (add actual success and failure factors here besides impact). The research found in this paper has limitations in terms of the period of which research papers have been reviewed. An implicit limitation is that it does not consider an empirical study except focusing on the state of the art found in the re-search area. However, its insights will have potential benefits and the directions for future work. This paper contributes to the research on the impact of ERP implementation on SMEs either positively or negatively. It discovers critical success factors, critical failure factors and impact through secondary data collection method. The insights will help SMEs and stake-holders of SMEs and ERP service providers learn about the reasons for failure or success and take necessary course of action.
