The Oxford Handbook of Project Management
The Oxford Handbook of Project Management presents and discusses leading ideas in the management of projects. Positioning project management as a domain much broader and more strategic than simply 'execution management', this Handbook draws on the insights of over 40 scholars to chart the development of the subject over the last 50 years or more as an area of increasing practical and academic interest. It suggests we could be entering an emerging 'third wave' of analysis and interpretation following its early technical and operational beginnings and the subsequent shift to a focus on projects and their management. Topics dealt with include: the historical evolution of the subject; its theoretical base; professionalism; business and societal context; strategy; organization; governance; innovation; overruns; risk; information management; procurement; relationships and trust; knowledge management; practice and teams. This handbook is of particular relevance to those interested in the research issues underlying project management.
The Future of Project Management
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.
Einfluss der Projektmanagementreife auf den Projekterfolg
Die industrielle Wertschöpfung findet zunehmend in Projekten statt. Daraus ergibt sich für Unternehmen die Notwendigkeit ihr Projektmanagement zu professionalisieren. Dazu können Projektmanagementreifegradmodelle eingesetzt werden. Bei einer Reifegradmessung werden die Projektmanagementstrukturen einer Organisation unter verschiedenen Aspekten analysiert und es wird ein Reifegrad zugeordnet. Durch die Umsetzung von Verbesserungsmaßnahmen kann anschließend versucht werden diesen zu steigern. Von den Modellentwicklern werden diverse positive Effekte genannt, die sich für eine Organisation mit einem hohen Reifegrad einstellen sollen. Diese konnten bislang allerdings nicht in unabhängigen...
Corporate Takeover Law and Management Discipline
This book examines the effectiveness of corporate takeovers. The dominant ideologies of corporate takeovers include synergistic gains and its managerial disciplinary role. These dominant themes are being undermined by the challenges of costly acquisitions. The UK Takeover Code is a regulatory response to the role of managers of target companies only. Also, the regulatory framework for takeovers in the United States is largely focused on target companies. The book demonstrates that managements can influence the role of takeovers, thereby undermining its synergistic and disciplinary values. Presenting an identification and evaluation of the limits of current regulatory and judicial control ove...
Häufige Projektfehlschläge als emotionale Herausforderung
Erik Schäfer beschreibt am Beispiel von zwei Architekturbüros, wie sich projektbasierte Organisationen nach fehlgeschlagenen Projekten vor negativen Emotionen schützen, um die positiven Emotionen, die für die Arbeit an weiteren Projekten benötigt werden, zu erhalten. Die identifizierten Bewältigungspraktiken bieten einerseits Sicherheit und Anschlussfähigkeit im Handeln, weil sie negative Emotionen verdrängen und störende Gefühlsausbrüche abwenden. Da solche Ausbrüche aber auch Hinweise auf notwendige Veränderungen sein können, besteht andererseits die Gefahr, dass die Praktiken zu Wandelbarrieren verkommen. Die Studie schließt mit Empfehlungen zum Umgang mit diesem Dilemma.
