Strategy of minimizing delay in public construction projects through implementation of electronic procurement system

Delays in construction projects have become a common global phenomenon, due to the complex nature of the industry. Iraq is one of the developing countries which faces delay problem in time of urgent need to develop and rebuild the destroyed infrastructure caused by successive wars. The aim of this s...
