Project Literature Reviews Samples For Students

Abstract

Risk management is undertaken differently in varied sectors. In a survey of 415 projects in Brazil, the revelation came out that hiring a risk manager or planning for risk enhances project success rate. However, risk means diverse things for different sectors. In IT, some risks are desirable, because they disrupt the status, making some people redundant and increasing the opportunities for the skilled. Hence, the path taken to manage risk in the IT field is different from how risk is managed in other areas. The construction industry is intensive in the use of resources, and risk management should be ...

I am currently implementing my practicum project in a correctional nurse setting. The focus is on improving staff retention, motivation, and job satisfaction, thereby reducing the staff turnover, by employing mentorship as a strategy in enhancing the work environment and promoting the development of less-experienced nurses. Project planning and implementation was done by a team with the use of participatory approaches to ensure staff buy-in and commitment.
I have already completed two quarters in NURS 8600. The activities include an organizational needs assessment; survey tool selection or development to measure baseline and post-intervention staff data on motivation, intent to stay, and ...

Several evidence-based change processes or interventions were employed as guide during the field experience. The first is creating an EBP project implementation committee or team. The literature points to key elements needed in a team, namely a facilitator, members to function as project champions, goals and objectives, an EBP focus, and established meeting times (Houser & Oman, 2011). I functioned as leader or facilitator while senior nurses and the nurse educator functioned as project champions. The diversity of opinions, consensus-building process, and shared accountability also ensures that informed decisions are made throughout the different phases of the project (Roussel, 2011). Moreover, a committee ...

Objectives define the purpose of the practicum and also serve as the basis for evaluation. Activities that must be accomplished need to be identified as well to ensure the objectives are attainable.

ABSTRACT

The construction industry is highly risk-prone, with unique, dynamic and complex environments that create an atmosphere of high uncertainty and risks. The industry is vulnerable to various technical, sociopolitical, operational and business risks. The mechanisms for coping with the risks have not been accomplished in the industry and as such people working in the industry bear a host of challenges including quality and operational requirements, cost overrun and uncertainty delays in project execution. In this regard, an effective system of risk analysis and management for the construction industry remains a challenge for industry practitioners. The aim of this paper is to ...

In order to balance the management of the values and benefits created for developers it is important to conduct a feasibility study of the project from operational and economic perspective. Carrying out a feasibility study can significantly help the manager to achieve the success of the business more than what novelty of the innovation can achieve (Briggs, Claxton & Sculpher 2011). This study can help the firm to assess the competitors, assess the strength and weaknesses, and assess the wiliness of the customers to buy their products generally evaluate the project’s financial viability. Therefore, in order to achieve the balanced development ...

The success of developing, implementing, and evaluating the DNP Project can be attributed in part to the support obtained and strategies employed. Because the initiative was my first time leading an evidence-based project, I was initially apprehensive and there were many instances when I was not sure what to do. Given my knowledge of different nursing roles, I knew that the person most capable of helping me out with leading change was the director of nursing. She has 35 years of experience in nursing with the last 12 years in the correctional setting making her an ideal source of ...

Evaluation is the process of systematically collecting data pertaining to different aspects of a project for the purpose of judging effectiveness and making decisions about the project’s future (CDC, 2012). Especially for projects that utilize funding, evaluations take the form of formal research typically by external evaluators to establish both effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, and other attributes. On a smaller scale, an evaluation can be formative or summative. A formative evaluation focuses on the process of planning and implementing the project while a summative evaluation looks at the outcomes.
In the study by McNabney et al. (2009), the researchers employed a summative method ...

There is plenty of literature on human trafficking. Much of the available literature relates to human trafficking on women and children. According to Laczko and Gramegna (2004) these two groups are the hardest hit by the illegal trade. In order to avoid ambiguity, most studies and books have described human trafficking as coercion or forceful involvement of people into activities against their wish for commercial gain (Laczko & Gramegna, 2004; Farrell, 2011). In spite of numerous efforts to fight the trade, the number of people affected by human trafficking is still high. A study by the Polaris Project estimates that ...

Even though the building of cities has a long and a correspondingly complex history, the concept of city planning as an organized profession has only been around for less than a century (Garvin). Practiced under several names (town, community, urban land use, or physical environment planning), most cities in the current modernistic concept of planning display considerable degrees of forethought and conscious design not only in their physical layout but also in their functioning. Today, the building of cities is done for several reasons that bear in mind the diversity potential of urban forms and the complex functions that ...

Return on investments (ROI) is one of the most crucial calculations that organizations’ management need to make as a way of ensuring that their businesses have a long-term viability. Thus, it is becoming crucial for businesses not only to identify their operations profitability but also to measure the efficiency of their investments in providing a return. However, the metric’s application varies with different business types, and that forms the objective of this study in establishing the various ROI standards that are applied by companies with a focus on the service oriented businesses. (Vinci, 2010) In that respect, the analysis ...

In his “Project for arriving at moral Perfection,” Benjamin Franklin gives an example of ardent Puritanism, the aim of which is to reach an angelic purity, and this makes it similar to the introspection and mediation of Puritanism. In his project, Franklin takes a step to establish the fact that he wishes to practice thirteen virtues in order to become a model of Christian charity and reach perfection.
Christian faith contains all of these percepts at its core. Franklins vision of life is certainly idealistic, but of course, no one to what extent these virtues were actually honored by him. ...

1. Historical evolution of Mumbai
Mumbai has a long history of evolution that spans for 1000 years. In 1343 the cluster of seven islands was controlled by the Sultanate of Gujarat, and later in 1534 following Portugal invasion, the area was converted into a trading center (The British Library Board). The Portuguese coined the term Bom Bahia, meaning ‘the good bay’, and developed dwelling units, factories as well as ship building yards in the Island cluster, which later became known as Bombay (The British Library Board). With the establishment of East India Company, the British ousted Portuguese, and used ...

Introduction

Healthcare involves the collaboration of various medical organizations, institutions, and providers, all of whom manage their own data under different storage and retrieval systems, and though practical and efficient within the target system, there is a lack of uniformity in structure across other systems (Masud et al. 2012). Moreover, there are often variations in data compiled from the same resources. This lack of synergy between the various data storage systems, and the types of information stored, preclude the sharing of data among the various healthcare professionals, institutions, and organizations. E-health systems, on the other hand, allow the storage and retrieval ...

Introduction

Growth and development is an umbrella term for everything that happens to an organism after a certain period of time that leads to maturity. Human growth and development are two terms that are usually misinterpreted and at times, interchanged. It would be important to know as early as now that these two terms do not carry the same meaning and are therefore not interchangeable. Growth refers to the process wherein part of an organism’s body increases in size, diameter, or length. One practical example of growth that typically occurs in humans is the increase in the size, diameter, and ...

Problems of implementing total quality management in the construction industry

For total quality management to be implemented in an organization there is a need to have a culture change in that organization. The process of changing culture in an organization is a difficult one to undertake. There is a lot of resistance while undertaking this one. The problem that is faced while undertaking the implementation of total quality management is that, it is neither a slogan nor a tool that will be used, but rather it is a paradigm in any organization. It is wide enough to be the framework that can be used by an organization in their culture. It is therefore in order to ...
