Abstract
The focal purpose of the study was to give an analysis of the difference between Private and Public Sector in Project Management. To achieve the study, objectives were set to prove or disprove the idea that undeniably there are differences between the sectors. These are two different sectors that operate within the same sphere of work, but with different working conditions, ethics, principles and cultures. The study applied quantitative research method and random sampling was used to extract one hundred target participants. A questionnaire designed in Likert scale frame work was employed to generate the survey data. The research findings revealed that bureaucracy delays project completion, and decision-making processes in the private sector are quicker as compared to decision making process in the public sector. The research study can recommend that both private and public, should make use of Research and Development information of different organizations or institutions to identify and establish issues which would positively influence and improve success of projects they implement. More so, benchmarking should be performed on the identified issues and a good framework for appraisal, monitoring, and evaluation of projects must be developed. Such framework could be used to trace the project during implementation and shows effect of project delays in financial terms.
