Opis

The topic of this scientific work covers a special area of project management: the success factors of projects. Additionally, the project management performance of special areas of the Austrian government services is analyzed with regard to its maturity and specific success factors. The reason for choosing this subject lies in the personal experience and interest of the author concerning the Austrian government services: The budget of the Republic is more under pressure than ever. In private businesses project management is applied because it increases competitiveness, efficiency and therefore saves resources. Nevertheless, in many areas of the public administration, project management is still not applied. Furthermore, it is often argued that public administration is not comparable with private businesses due to special environmental circumstances. Therefore, an analysis of project management performance and the special circumstances under which public services are acting seemed suitable with regard to project management.
