Rethinking Project Management - An Organisational Perspective (Paperback)

In practice we see that projects often fail. People disagree, they change their minds, they learn as work progresses. The project develops into an important and influential organization with its own opinions. Researchers have for a long time pointed out the need for new approaches to project management. This book looks at project management from an organizational perspective. A project is a temporary organization, established by its base organization to carry out an assignment on its behalf. From this perspective, project management concerns basically the relationship between the permanent and the temporary organization. Inherent in the perspective is an understanding of the project's most important purpose, to facilitate another organization's progress. The assignment is about change and within a certain time limit. The book discusses how the foundation of the project, planning, organizing, controlling, leadership in an organizational perspective.
