| Abstract | Purpose-To empirically demonstrate the nature of current project manager assignment practices and their impact on important performance variables, in the context of Botswana's multi-project settings. Approach - the research design is composed of country and company layers. This paper reports on Fieldwork 1 of 3 stages, which involved questionnaires and interviews of 53 project managers and 20 project heads from 12 companies in the public and private sector. Findings-the results indicate compelling evidence to conclude that the current practices are informal, not objective, not comprehensive and lack a good match between project managers and projects. Significant correlations were found between the following variables (1) extent of formality and project manager rewards, (2) extent of objectivity and project manager performance, (3) extent of comprehensiveness and project success, (4) Correspondence level between project manager and project and the performance variables - project manager rewards, project manager performance and project success. Contributions - (1) empirical justification for problem existence that gives an indication of the state of practice in Botswana - currently unknown, (2) Data from a “new” country, industries and project types compared to existing empirical studies on this topic, (3) development of a conceptual model that adds to the theory behind matching project managers to projects in a multi-project setting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
