This volume brings together selected and extended papers representative of work presented at the 8th IPMA Research Conference, which was held online between 9th and 11th September 2020. It explores the topics of project, programme and portfolio management, and self-organizing in and through projects. Offering international and multidisciplinary perspectives, this book answers questions such as: What is the impact of self-organization on organizational structures, processes, cultures and leadership? How can we define the transformative power of self-organization? What is the motivation of individuals to perform activities, to engage with others and organizations in order to get things done? Which kinds of leadership best support self-organizing in projects? What have disciplines like natural science, psychology, philosophy, sociology and management to offer in this respect? What are the cultural limitations and potentials regarding self-organization in projects and how do we deal with them? Research on Project, Programme and Portfolio Management is a valuable resource for all researchers and project management professionals interested in autonomous working and self-organizing.
Unternehmen verwenden eine Vielzahl an Ansätzen zum Projektmanagement, die oft weder klar abgrenzbare, einheitliche Methoden verwenden noch gezielt als zum jeweiligen Projekt passend ausgewählt worden sind. Zumeist kann zudem weder die angewandte Methodik klar angegeben werden, noch wurde aktiv nach neuen Methoden oder Konzepten gesucht – oft aus Scheu, Neues auszuprobieren. Mit ihrem vorliegenden Band stellt Maren Sellmann Unternehmen eine wertvolle Hilfe bereit. Sie vergleicht nicht nur aktuelle Projektmanagementkonzepte im Bereich der klassischen, agilen und hybriden Methoden unter Berücksichtigung der jeweiligen Chancen und Risiken, sondern untersucht dabei auch die Fragen, ob besti...
Modern project management is different from what it was ten years ago. New methods and tools have been developed, the number of projects and members in project teams has increased, professionalism in project management has generally increased, and projects have become highly complex. Parallel to this, artificial intelligence, automation, information and communication technology, human resources management, and many other areas are being developed, which will continue to impact project management in the future significantly. At the same time, new generations of young people are entering the labour market with different needs and expectations for project work. The authors of the book provide decision-makers, project workers, and students with an insight into the modern challenges of project management due to digitization, artificial intelligence and project economy. The book is based on knowledge of classic management principles but does not follow them blindly, arguing that modern project management is based on people, their values, and the intelligent use of methods, techniques, and emerging technologies.

Europe and the Maritime World: A Twentieth-Century History offers a framework for understanding globalization over the past century. Through a detailed analysis of ports, shipping and trading companies whose networks spanned the world, Michael B. Miller shows how a European maritime infrastructure made modern production and consumer societies possible. He argues that the combination of overseas connections and close ties to home ports contributed to globalization. Miller also explains how the ability to manage merchant shipping's complex logistics was central to the outcome of both world wars. He chronicles transformations in hierarchies, culture, identities and port city space, all of which produced a new and different maritime world by the end of the century.
The hype and fear, globally, that surrounds service automation, robots and the future of work need to be punctured by in-depth research.
