Project success evaluation of Xperts Council

Abstract

Project evaluation is a common practice performed by most companies. This dissertation uses the multilevel evaluation framework proposed by Bannerman (2008) and a probit regression model, to identify the internal and environmental factors that most influence the different levels of success obtained by Xperts Council in the projects it carries out. Results show that project management success is only influenced by the location of the client company, being more likely when the client company is in Paris or London. Product success is only influenced by the size of the client company, being less likely when the client company is large. Business success is influenced by the marital status and age of the employee, and by the size of the client company. It is more likely when the employee is married and less likely when the employee's age is higher, and the size of the client company is larger. Finally, strategic success is influenced by the employee's age, by the fact of he or she belonging to the top management and being married, and by the client company location being in Paris or London. All these factors increase the likelihood of strategic success.
