It classifies the resources and capabilities of the firm in terms of value, rarity, imitability and organization. According to this framework, a value resource should be capable of exploiting opportunities and mitigates threats in the business environment. Rare resources and capabilities are those controlled by a few companies in the industry. The resources should be hard and costly to imitate by competitors. Finally organization of resources through procedures and policies supports the utilization of rare, valuable and hard to imitate resources and capabilities (Johnson et al 2014).

At the same time, patients suffering from mental disorders had high prevalence of using cannabis compared to the general public. Despite all those facts, there were gaps in linking risks resulting from use of cannabis t o mental disorders. In the first paper, Schubart et al. (2011) strongly linked subclinical psychotic symptoms to early age and heavy use of cannabis. In the second paper, van Dijk et al. (2012) formulated four hypotheses to ascertain the findings using controlling confounding factors in the cohort study. The findings established a close connection between frequency of cannabis consumption and patients with schizophrenia. The last paper by Veling et al. (2008) cemented the argument by confirming the link between use of cannabis use to schizophrenia brushing aside hypothesis that correlation of genotype-environment was associated with not only schizophrenia patients but also with their siblings and minority in general population. The findings led to the recommendations that nursing implications encompassing educational and preventive approaches should be adopted in clinical practice to effectively manage effects of cannabis use. Furthermore, corresponding assessments entailing screening and follow-up monitoring services are recommended in such cases.

However, the increased rate of failure in the construction projects necessitates an in-depth review of the construction companies' project management practices. Different project management methods have been noted to realize different levels of project success and failures. Therefore, current study examines the use of waterfall and scrum project management techniques in construction projects in Dubai with the aim of identifying the methods that are likely to improve the performance and success of projects. A comprehensive review of literature on the challenges and enablers of waterfall and scrum methods of project management has been critical in shaping the course of this study.

The survey questionnaire was administered to gather primary data from the respondents. The findings indicate that waterfall challenges has significant negative effects on performance and success of construction projects while enablers of waterfall and scrum have significantly positive effects on project performance. However, contrary to previous studies, the survey has established that challenges of scrum method do not pose a significant threat to project performance and success. However, the use of two approaches can lead to better management of construction projects rather than either of the methods separately. However, the use of the scrum method should be restricted to the design and PROJECT MANAGEENT METHODS 1
