Neo-Industrial Organising explores an emerging area of importance
in management and organisation studies, namely the trend towards a
projectization of the economy as a whole and the inter- and
intra-organisational relations of renewal projects. By reporting on
the experiences of twenty-five renewal projects from a wide variety
of both local and international organisations, the authors develop
a theoretical framework based on action and knowledge, in order to
answer such key questions as: What is neo-industrial management?
What does the future hold for organisations? How will institutions
be formed? What effects will neo-industrial organising have on the
individual and his/her work situation? Topics covered include: *
industrial renewal, organisation and management * project
management and temporary organisation * personnel recruitment,
selection and training * societal infrastructure Distinctive,
relevant and accessibly written, this book will interest
researchers and students in the field of organisational behaviour.
In this book, leading authorities on project organizing explore the
growing deployment of projects and other types of temporary
organizations, with a focus on the challenges created by
projectification. The way projects are coordinated and handled
influences the success of innovation and change within
organizations and is critical for strategic development in our
societies, yet it is often at odds with the institutions of
traditional industrial society. Drawing on both theoretical
perspectives and real-world cases, this book sheds light on the
transformation toward a project society and explores the effects,
opportunities, and conflicts it has created. As change continues,
the authors make a case for renewing institutions and mind-sets and
provide a foundation from which to discuss societal changes for the
future. This is an invaluable book for researchers and students in
project management and organizational theory programs, as well as
professionals involved in the management of projects.
