Advancing Project Management: Frameworks, Digital Transformation, Sustainability and Governance delivers research-driven insights into how modern frameworks, digital tools and governance practices transform project performance across sectors. Grounded in empirical research from Malaysia’s defence, energy, construction and transportation industries, the book demonstrates how these elements work together to strengthen accountability, transparency, decision quality, and overall project outcomes.
Organised in four sections: methods and frameworks; digital transformation; sustainability and strategy; and risk and governance, the book integrates theoretical grounding with sector-specific analysis to show how established models such as PMBOK, the Technology Acceptance Model and Contingency Theory can be adapted for emerging economies. Findings highlight global challenges of digital readiness, governance capability and resource optimisation, and position Malaysia as a case study with lessons for both developed and developing contexts.
This volume is a companion to Advancing Leadership and Collaboration in Project Management: Culture, Knowledge, and Team Dynamics, which together offer a balanced perspective on technical and human dimensions of project success.
Essential for academics, practitioners, and policymakers, Advancing Project Management provides rigorous analysis and practical recommendations for organisations navigating digital transformation and sustainability pressures worldwide.
