Abstract: The modern project management has emerged after the 2nd World War as a field that is strongly oriented toward practical applications of planning and organization. The research itself, fairly recent, first walked the same path as positivist approaches in order to identify the best practices for professionals. However, during the last decade, several voices in the community of project management researchershave called for opening the studies of "project" to those of management and organization. From a theoretical point of view, there is a dense theorizing project management research and also an opening to large theoretical perspectives, including turning to sociological approaches. We proceed by reading in the normative definitions and from the theoretical literatures and try a theoretical synthesis on the specific state environment of the management of the projects in the perspective of an exploration..

Abstract: Several studies have documented that Africa's infrastructure construction firms often do not meet defined project objectives regarding; time, budget and functionality. This has often caused; delays, abandonment or disillusionments on the side of investors. Several contributing factors to these failures have been identified. However, very little if at all, seems to have been done on the project management readiness of African construction firms. Accordingly, this paper sought to assess Africa's construction industry readiness to deliver the priority action projects. Using literature review method, the study established that Africa has a huge technical skills gap which is the main reason for the dismal performance in construction projects' delivery. A readiness training model was developed for policy planners and educational practitioners to help build Africa's human capacity in infrastructure project management. The paper strongly recommends for the adoption of the model. And with that, the Africa's construction stakeholders may gradually improve their project management readiness..
