FLEPISI, L.  e  MLAMBO, C.. Factors influencing the late delivery of projects in state-owned enterprises: the case of Eskom. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2021, vol.32, n.4, pp.57-66. ISSN 2224-7890.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7166/32-4-2455.

Delays in project completion by state-owned enterprises are a major concern and a threat to the South African economy. This study investigates both the internal and the external factors influencing the late delivery of projects in state-owned enterprises, with ESKOM as a case study. The research design was a survey questionnaire that was used to gather sufficient information. The study revealed key internal and external factors influencing the late delivery of projects in the state-owned enterprises, including the failure to update construction programmes, the late delivery of contractor-supplied materials, corruption, and political interference. In conclusion, we posit that, to ensure early project completion, the authorisation and empowerment of the project team is vitally important.
