| dc.description.abstract | This study conducts a systematic review and evaluation of web-based project management
systems to identify their features, strengths, and weaknesses in order to assess their
suitability for Sri Lankan Online Micro-entrepreneurs. Therefore, this acts as a guide for
Sri Lankan micro-entrepreneurs when choosing the most suitable project management
system for their enterprises. Moreover, this study produces recommendations for future
developments that can address the needs in the Sri Lankan micro-entrepreneurial arena.
When considering academic literature focused on the use of project management tools
and techniques in the performance of organizations, there exists a considerable research
gap, because most of them are conducted regarding large firms, leaving a larger gap
to explore this aspect in the context of Small and Mid-Sized enterprises. So, this
study intends to address that gap. By reviewing the existing academic literature and
conducting surveys using Sri Lankan online micro-entrepreneurs, this study assesses the
suitability of five selected web-based project management systems for the Sri Lankan
online micro-entrepreneurial context. As this study implies, Sri Lankan online microentrepreneurs
face some challenges when adopting project management systems to
their operations. As various web-based project management systems possess diverse
characteristics, it is possible to evaluate the systems and choose the best fitting webbased
project management system for micro-entrepreneurial digital ventures, and this
study provides a contribution to that evaluation process. | en_US |
