    Critical Success Factors of Electronic Government Procurement (E-GP) Implementation in Sri Lanka
    (ICSDB 2024 and SLIIT Business School, 2024-12-10) Dikmadugoda, L.
    Electronic Government procurement is one aspect of the E-Government concept. It offers to the value for money, cost-saving, better fiscal policy management, and substantial competition and a stronger marketplace. Many countries all over the world including developing countries such as Bhutan, Napal, and Bangladesh obtained advantage through the digitalization of government procurement. The main objectives of the study are measure to the level of eprocurement practises in the public sector in Sri Lanka and examine to the critical success factors in adopting e-procurement in Public Sector Institutions in Sri Lanka. The population of the study comprises of the national-level public sector entities such as Ministries, Departments, Statutory Boards and Public Companies and Registered vendors. A sample of procurement entities was selected on convenience sample method. This research based on quantitative studies and Quantitative data collected through a structured questionnaire to identify the determinants of successful e-procurement adoption and the level of e-procurement usage. The survey results of this study affirm the pivotal role of organizational, legal, and environmental factors in driving the successful implementation of electronic government procurement, consistent with the findings outlined in the literature review. Concurrently, the survey underscores the limited influence of technology and political factors on the e-government Procurement (e-GP) implementation in Sri Lanka. Despite these nuances, the overarching objective of the research remains unchanged: to offer a streamlined pathway for the swift and effective adoption of Electronic Government Procurement practices across all sectors of the government.

    Impact of Critical Success Factors in Oracle EBS Enterprise Resource Planning Post Go Live Implementation:A Case Study on SriLankan Airlines
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2022-01-08) Dissanayake, I; Thelijjagoda, S
    In today's business world, ERP does everything from recording transaction data, managing workflows, analyzing data to provide insights to decision makers for effective decision making. Selection of a right ERP, proper testing and post go live could be a major scale system implementation for any organization. Thus, it is extremely beneficial to evaluate and test the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) in order to ensure a successful ERP post go live implementation. The primary goal of this study is to determine the impact of Critical Success Factors that influence for a successful post go live ERP implementation in the context of the national airline of Sri Lanka which is SriLankan Airlines. Three critical success factors were identified through this study. This study aims on Adequate end user training, Business Process Management (BPM) and Top Management Support as CSFs. The findings have verified that the ERP implementation success is influenced by the Top Management Support, Business Process Management and adequate end user trainings. Out of the identified three CSFs, it is statistically proven that the adequate end user training takes a significantly prominent place for a successful post go live implementation while BPM and Top Management Support also equally contribute to drive an ERP implementation project with expected outcomes. This study could be a guidance for enterprises, be beneficial to ERP clienteles, ERP consultants and service providers, be added to the existing body of knowledge.

    SUCCESSFUL DELIVERY OF PUBLICPRIVATE PARTNERSHIP (PPP) IN THE CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS OF SRI LANKAN HIGHER EDUCATION SECTOR
    (https://ciobwcs.com, 2022-06-24) Kandawinna, N; Mallawaarachchi, H; Vijerathne, D
    To gain economic advantages in the competitive world, governments tend to adopt new financing methods in construction projects. Accordingly, Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects are a popular choice mainly due to the reduction in transaction cost and innovation. PPP projects have spread from the typical use on infrastructure projects such as airports, roads, railways, ports, and water sanitation to the more recent use for projects in the higher education sector such as universities and colleges. Thus, adopting PPP for the higher education sector related construction projects in Sri Lanka is vital to consider. Accordingly, this research aims to observe the Critical Success Factors (CSF) for the successful delivery of PPP projects in the construction projects of the higher education sector in Sri Lanka. A comprehensive literature review was first conducted to identify the CSFs of PPP in higher education construction projects and 22 CSFs were identified. The survey method was used under quantitative phenomenon since this research required evaluating the identified CSFs. The identified factors were evaluated through a questionnaire survey, which was conducted among the 30 selected professionals who are aware on PPPs, such as Quantity Surveyors, Project Managers, Government Professionals, and Academic Professionals. As the key findings derived through analysis, “communication between parties”, “transparency in the procurement process”, financial capability and support”, “project technical feasibility” and “appropriate risk allocation and risk-sharing” were determined as the top five CSFs for PPP projects in the higher education sector related construction projects in Sri Lanka. Furthermore, strategies were also proposed to ensure the successful implementation of CSFs in the higher education sector in Sri Lanka.

    Sustainable Supply Chains of Sri Lankan Manufacturing Organizations: A Study on Operational Excellence Models During the COVID-19 Pandemic
    (researchgate.net, 2022) Nagendrakumar, N; Malsinghe, M.T.D; Gunathilaka, M.H.A; Bandara, I.P.C.D; Wijerathne, A.I; Madhavika, W.D.N
    This paper presents an investigation on operational excellence (OpX) models of sustainable supply chains (SSCs) in Sri Lankan manufacturing organizations during Covid-19 pandemic. This investigation consists of multiple case studies of Sri Lankan manufacturing organizations in following industries: rubber and plastic products, wearing apparels, paper and paper products. Based on a pre-existing OpX model, six Critical Success Factors (CSFs) were identified in terms of SSCs. This research was conducted as an exploratory case study where data is collected through in-depth interviews, company websites/reports. By using a deductive approach, findings of CSFs effecting behaviour of OpX models are displayed. Thematic and Content analysis on the behavior of OpX models in SSCs are non-generalizable beyond this research. The findings display the organization in respect to wearing apparels has a more sustainable approach to better manage their OpX model and more strategic Upper Echelons to gain better strategic outcomes before/during Covid-19 pandemic. The profile of a manager was vital in interpreting OpX models in their organizations. The study outcomes can inform organizations to prime their OpX model for a crisis of Covid-19 magnitude. The effects may be generalized further to other industries. The study describes connectivity of Upper Echelons Theory to OpX models and contributes to literature through a demonstration of CSF behaviours in OpX models of SSCs during the Covid-19 crisis.
