Abstract
Emergence is the evolution of order bottom-up from local knowledge. Emergent Project Management is the method of using emergence to elicit local knowledge, integrate it with the global knowledge, and use the integrated knowledge to manage projects more effectively. Foreign mangers can leverage local knowledge using this method. The five key components of Emergent Project Management, based on the concept of Emergent Design [IBM Systems Journal 39 (2000) 768] are: (1) Constructionism, (2) Technological fluency, (3) Immersive environments, (4) Applied epistemological anthropology, and (5) Critical inquiry. Project managers who want to transcend state, regional, national, cultural, organizational and industry boundaries in today's global economy will need these new cognitive and behavioral skills.
