    "According to Ozguler, other factors that can affect project success are teamwork, teambuilding, and stakeholder management. The authors’ solution is to build a Multi-Cultural Project Management Process to address the cultural differences of the project working team and the executive committees. He further explained that having such will improve the interpersonal sensitivity of project members and stakeholders towards one another [14]. "
