The authors Milind Padalkar and Saji Gopinath (2016) embarked on their scholarly journey by introducing the captivating realm of project management and shedding light on the remarkable surge of research interest in this field over the past 15 years. They astutely emphasized the interdisciplinary nature of project management, which has led to a substantial body of literature across various domains and research areas. Yet, amidst this profusion of existing knowledge, the authors discerned a conspicuous absence of convergence in two critical aspects of project management: the evaluation of project performance and the dearth of a robust theoretical foundation within this discipline. It is precisely this void in the literature that the authors seek to address through their meticulous analysis of existing scholarly works
