Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to scrutinize on whether the various
demographic differences contained within a project management teams affects the
decision making of the retail projects in terms of the failures or the success in the
UAE.
The objectives of the study have been achieved through use of the
quantitative research design. A study on the theoretical framework has also been used
in bringing on board the advent of wider scope of study topic with keen attention to
the heterogeneity that is depicted in project management team in retail projects in
UAE.
The research findings indeed confirm that there is congruence in project
management homogeneity and the advent of demographic difference of the
workforce.
The high level of globalization and dynamism in the project management
make it difficult to assess the actual impact of cultural practices on project
management in UAE, Also, work experience as factor for project management
emerged as a limitation.
The conjectural framework of the research conducted is to provide functional
individuals who will grow with proper skills and become intellectuals. The same
people with this knowledge will come to be future managers and good role model to
the society. Their managerial expertise will help in achieving the goals of any
organization by combining efforts with other influential people hence boosting the
global economy.
The research airs out issues like age, gender, and culture and work experience
influencing project related decisions in an organization hence providing an adequate
benchmark study, This provides a good ground for more research executions so as to
come up with better solutions on how to conduct and revise projects about more
demographic differences.
