Abstract

There is mounting pressure from many sources for organizations to abandon more bureaucratic forms of organization in favour of flexible project-based structures. However, despite widespread perceptions of the importance of this new structural form, there is a lack of acknowledgement of fundamental incongruities between the objectives, principles and techniques of project management and the needs of flexible project-based forms of organization. This paper considers the overall lack of empirical studies of project management in the context of organizational innovation and suggests a potentially fruitful new direction for project management research.
