Q. Which three schools from the 11 schools of business management, your organization is
most related to and what impact has that had in your organization.
Business management is currently being utilized to plan and schedule projects within the
business operations. Many business projects are complicated, therefore require intensive
planning and scheduling. Project management provides a simpler method for managing
complicated projects and identifying effective project management techniques aids in completing
major projects punctually and within budget. The project’s start and finish time are crucial to the
overall completion time. Software usage is also beneficial for effective project management
(Larsson & Eriksson, 2018). From the 11 schools of business management, the three schools that
are most related to the Engineering and construction department at North Oil Qatar are the
behaviour school, the success school and the marketing School.
The Success School
The Success School describes the failure or the success of a given project in the
Engineering and construction department at North Oil Qatar. When describing project success,
two main factors are considered which are project success criteria and project success factors.
The project's success criteria are the organizational objectives that the company wishes to
achieve from a given project (Turner et al., 2013). Success criteria measure how successful the
results of a project are. On the other hand, project success factors are the components of the
project that can be changed or influenced to increase or reduce the likelihood of project success.
That is, these are variables that can be changed to make success more likely to happen in a given
project.
At the Engineering and construction department at North Oil Qatar, the manager in
charge of projects identifies the success criteria to be used for each project and then determines

the factors that will lead to the successful completion of that project and finally chooses the most
appropriate project management methodology to deliver a successful project.
Initially, project stakeholders mainly concentrated on success factors such as cost, the
completion time of the project, and the performance of employees in regard to the project
objectives. Project leaders believed that the greatest contributors to success were on how the
project was planned and controlled, as advocated in the Optimization School (Turner et al.,
2013). However, it is now widely accepted that stakeholders view the project as a process from
the time it is initiated to the time it is completed. The activities involved in between have a great
impact and can be used to determine the success or failure of a project.
The Engineering and construction department at North Oil Qatar has greatly benefited
from the use of project management tools for communication, collaboration, cost management,
human resource management, scheduling, and monitoring of projects. Value and success can be
monitored at every step of the project from when it is initiated to its completion. Project
managers at the company are able to divide the project into segments and assign these small
modules to employees who are more qualified and specialized in those specific areas.
Major duty of managers is to establish and manage projects for business operations. The
project is a short-term procedure designed to achieve specific goals and objectives (Larsson &
Eriksson, 2018). Implementing the project may contain constraints that interfere with time and
funding. A crucial duty for managers is to strategize and employ project management techniques
that are successful with minimum interruption to the business operation. The major challenge of
project management is accomplishing goals and objectives with the presence of constraints.
Project management techniques are utilized to assist managers in handling large complicated
projects. PERT and CPM are the two common techniques of project management. The
