Abstract

This paper explores how project management performance varies with the degree to which development projects are “integrated” with the organization(s) that manages them. Integration is measured over multiple dimensions and related to performance as rated by managers of 15 pharmaceutical firms and their 117 drug development projects. Preliminary results support the theory that “dis-integrating” the project from the traditional functional hierarchy can provide the “distance” necessary for high-performance product development.
