Från nord till syd - Praxis kring tidsplanering i Sverige och Saudiarabien : Projektledning utifrån tidsplanering och uppföljning

Sammanfattning

This study explores and compares scheduling and follow-up practices in construction projects between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and Sweden. By applying qualitative methods, including previous literature studies and interviews with experts in the construction industry in both countries, the thesis aims to gain an in-depth understanding of the differences and similarities that characterize the time planning and follow-up processes in these two contexts. The results of the study highlight the specific methods used in KSA and Sweden and identify the underlying factors that influence the effectiveness and success of these methods. The study shows that the two countries have sufficient technical capacity for development and efficiency. The most influencing role in the time planning is the difference in the use of competencies and experiences, the work environment and leadership and their impact on the work. By analysing and comparing data from the different sources, this work aims to contribute to insights that can be useful for improving the scheduling and follow-up of construction projects, not only in KSA and Sweden. This comparative study is expected not only to increase the understanding of cultural and organizational differences between the two countries but also to provide practical advice and recommendations to promote effective time planning and follow-up in the construction sector. By using a qualitative methodology, this work strives to offer an indepth insight into an important aspect of project management and contribute to the development of knowledge in the field.
