TL;DR: In this paper, the mediating role of team-building is proposed as a possible explanation of the relationship between transformational leadership and project success. But, the results of the study indicate that teambuilding partially mediates the effect of transformational leaders on project success, which is not known about the mechanisms that explain this effect.

TL;DR: This paper surveys the DSM literature, primarily from archival journals, and organizes the developments pertaining to building, displaying, analyzing, and applying product, process, and organization DSMs, as well as recent developments with domain mappingMatrices (DMMs) and multidomain matrices (MDMs).
Abstract: The design structure matrix (DSM), also called the dependency structure matrix, has become a widely used modeling framework across many areas of research and practice. The DSM brings advantages of simplicity and conciseness in representation, and, supported by appropriate analysis, can also highlight important patterns in system architectures (design structures), such as modules and cycles. A literature review in 2001 cited about 100 DSM papers; there have been over 1000 since. Thus, it is useful to survey the latest DSM extensions and innovations to help consolidate progress and identify promising opportunities for further research. This paper surveys the DSM literature, primarily from archival journals, and organizes the developments pertaining to building, displaying, analyzing, and applying product, process, and organization DSMs. It then addresses DSM applications in other domains, as well as recent developments with domain mapping matrices (DMMs) and multidomain matrices (MDMs). Overall, DSM methods are becoming more mainstream, especially in the areas of engineering design, engineering management, management/organization science, and systems engineering. Despite significant research contributions, however, DSM awareness seems to be spreading more slowly in the realm of project management.

TL;DR: A stochastic formulation is proposed that models the impact of recovery activities and potential disrupting shocks, which could happen during the recovery, on the system state of a reinforced concrete bridge repaired with fiber-reinforced polymer.
Abstract: The resilience of a system is related to its ability to withstand stressors, adapt, and rapidly recover from disruptions. Two significant challenges of resilience analysis are to (1) quantify the resilience associated with a given recovery curve; and (2) develop a rigorous mathematical model of the recovery process. To quantify resilience, a mathematical approach is proposed that systematically describes the recovery curve in terms of partial descriptors, called resilience metrics. The proposed resilience metrics have simple and clear interpretations, and their definitions are general so that they can characterize the resilience associated with any recovery curve. This paper also introduces a reliability-based definition of damage levels which is well-suited for probabilistic resilience analysis. For the recovery modeling, a stochastic formulation is proposed that models the impact of recovery activities and potential disrupting shocks, which could happen during the recovery, on the system state. ...

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey-based approach is used to validate a research model on project sustainability management and project success, and the results show a low degree of commitment to social and environment aspects of the surveyed projects.
