There is a growing tendency to organize various aspects of business
life by projects, and to set up temporary organizations in a
competition where speed and adaptability becomes a major necessity.
Organizing by projects is perceived as a good way to ensure action
and to stress the importance of getting work done. However, there
is a need to balance the stress on action so that learning
capabilities are not only retained, but augmented. Projects as
Arenas for Renewal and Learning Processes provides examples of how
different types of projects function from a learning or renewal
perspective, taken from a wide variety of real-life environments in
industrial and public organizations. This book illustrates the
mistaken habit of assuming too much in the project area: for
example, project notions are, in fact, culture-dependent; classical
market-oriented contracting business relations do not fit with the
learning dimension of projects; and long-term learning on core
competencies and product development projects need to be connected.
The book is also intended to represent many of the research
frontiers in the project field. Enhancing learning capabilities is
- or should be - of a mutual concern to researchers and managers
alike.
