Temporary Organizing : Integrating Organization Theory and Project Management
As a practical and theoretical field, Project Management is usually described as a set of models and techniques for the planning and control of complex undertakings such as construction, R&D, telecommunications etc. The abundance of mathematical tools derived from Operations Research is, despite efforts like PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge), only to a limited extent complemented by advice on organizational issues. This paper sets out to make an inventory of the organizational research on projects and to propose new directions for studies on Project Management. Traditionally, projects have been studied from three main perspectives; projects in the organizational structure, organizational communications and projects, and project leadership. There are also “minor” research themes such as cultural and network theories, and the new concept “Management by Projects.” The three main shortcomings of the organizational research on projects can be formulated as (1) the research on project management is not empirical enough, (2) projects are seen as tools, not as organizations, and (3) project management is seen as a general theory. These shortcomings can be overcome by studying different types of temporary organizations instead of projects, and by theorizing on ‘project organizing’ instead of the usual ‘organization’ perspective. ; NR 20140805
