Article: An investigation of implementation issues, process phases and knowledge areas of project management in the performance of construction supply chains Journal: International Journal of Project Organisation and Management (IJPOM) 2018 Vol.10 No.2 pp.137 - 157 Abstract: The purpose of this research is to empirically investigate linkages among implementation issues, process phases, and knowledge areas of project management in construction supply chain management (CSCM). This research has extended Behera et al. (2015) on implementation issues and process phases and applied key knowledge areas of project management to study performance of construction supply chain on finance, quality, logistics and innovation only. The findings from this innovative conceptualisation can contribute to develop strategies for construction supply chains. Decision makers involved in CSCM can find this study useful for developing a broader decision support for performance measurement involving both knowledge areas and process phases. The study is restricted by methodological limitations associated with snowball sampling and anonymous survey-based research within the limits of a single industry sector. The present study however may facilitate decision makers of CSCM with an empirically verified framework to draw pragmatic decision rules for better management of construction projects.
