In search of project classification: a non-universal approach to project success factors
Article Abstract:
Research was conducted to combine the theory of project success factors with the search for a natural project classification by using a linear discriminant analysis methodology. The search for the best classification scheme was performed using rich data from 110 projects including several hundred managerial variables. Results indicate that the use of multivariate approaches is both simple and effective when employing the large data sets typical of large-scale projects.

Models of priority-setting for public sector research
Article Abstract:
Three priority-setting models for government research are proposed as alternatives to existing and restrictive cost-benefit analysis models. They are user-based, institutional and political. The three facilitate a systematic process review based on 'changing outcomes by changing processes.' A discussion of their merits and disadvantages is also given along with examples of public research programs in New Zealand and Australia.
