Description
Summary:In recent years, organizational project management (OPM) has emerged as a field focused on how project, program and portfolio management practices strategically help firms realize organizational goals. There is a compelling need to address the totallity of project-related work at the organizational level, providing a view of organizations as a network of projects to be coordinated among themselves, integrated by the more permanent organization and to move away from a focus on individual projects. This comprehensive volume provides views form a wide range of international scholars researching OPM at a cross-disciplinary level. It covers concepts, theories and practices from disciplines allied to management, such as strategic management, organization science and behavioral science. It will be a valuable read for scholars and practitioners alike, looking to enrich their understanding of OPM and further investigate this new phenomenon.
