Megaprojects can foster modernization and enhance social and economic development but also perpetuate poverty and deprivation. This dark legacy is fostered by weak governmental structures, where local communities lack representation and social welfare is sacrificed for economic gain. Through a normative stakeholder theory and social value perspective, we examine the nuanced interplay between local authorities and the project owner organization in the controversial case of Brazil's Suape Port. The substantial economic gains triggered by the Suape megaproject did not improve the social conditions for local communities. While the original business case primarily focused on economic profitability, the disengagement of local authorities and their communities prevented benefits from materializing at the local level. By examining these missed opportunities, we introduce the concept of value dissipation to explain how social value diminishes over time, resulting in a shortfall in social benefits and a poor legacy for local communities.
大型项目可以促进现代化,促进社会和经济发展,但也会使贫困和剥夺永久化。这种黑暗的遗产是由脆弱的政府结构造成的,在这种结构中,地方社区缺乏代表性,为了经济利益而牺牲社会福利。通过规范的利益相关者理论和社会价值视角,我们研究了在巴西Suape港有争议的案例中,地方当局和项目业主组织之间微妙的相互作用。Suape大型项目带来的巨大经济收益并没有改善当地社区的社会条件。虽然最初的商业案例主要侧重于经济盈利,但地方当局及其社区的脱离阻碍了地方一级的利益实现。通过研究这些错失的机会,我们引入了价值耗散的概念来解释社会价值如何随着时间的推移而减少,从而导致社会福利的不足和当地社区的不良遗产。

Cognition, understood as the way the mind acquires, processes, and enacts information, is at the root of all behaviour. Yet, while the interest in behaviour in projects is increasing, these cognitive foundations are often disregarded or only haphazardly investigated in project research. This essay calls for a stronger engagement with cognition in projects, leveraging the insights from general and applied cognition sciences to explore, explain, and predict project behaviour. We emphasise that it is not differences in the thinking itself, but differences in the context in which the thinking is applied, that makes projects a relevant and distinct area in which to study cognition. To sketch a way forward, we establish key terms, illustrate phenomena from project behaviour which might benefit from a study through a cognitive lens, and introduce appropriate theories from cognitive science. The insights generated from such research with attention to ‘project cognition’ are particularly valuable for practice as they help to design project environments that align with how people in projects make sense of their world and interact with it.
认知被理解为大脑获取、处理和执行信息的方式,是所有行为的根源。然而,尽管对项目行为的兴趣正在增加,但这些认知基础往往被忽视,或者只是在项目研究中随意调查。这篇文章呼吁在项目中更强地参与认知,利用来自一般和应用认知科学的见解来探索、解释和预测项目行为。我们强调,不是思维本身的差异,而是思维应用环境的差异,使项目成为研究认知的相关和独特领域。为了勾勒出前进的道路,我们建立了关键术语,说明了从项目行为中可能受益于认知视角研究的现象,并从认知科学中引入了适当的理论。从这些关注“项目认知”的研究中产生的见解对实践特别有价值,因为它们有助于设计与项目中人们如何理解他们的世界并与之互动相一致的项目环境。

The local government project: A matchmaker or a troublemaker? 地方政府项目:媒人还是麻烦制造者?

Several studies have focused on local government as project-supported organisations (PSOs) initiating projects aiming to solve non-routine activities, but we know less about the widespread practice of initiating projects to solve recurrent problems in daily operations. This paper reports findings from a qualitative, longitudinal study of how a project team in a Norwegian local authority navigated tensions in their efforts to solve a daily operations challenge. Our findings contribute to the recent debate about consequences of projects in PSOs. First, we argue that tensions in PSOs can be theorised as competition between co-existing institutional logics and understood in light of strategic owner capabilities. Further, we suggest that the perceived strength of tensions influences whether the project is interpreted as a matchmaker between different logics, or, at other times, as a troublemaker where the project team's interpretation of contextual complexity limits its ability to combine co-existing institutional logics.
一些研究关注地方政府作为项目支持组织(pso)发起旨在解决非常规活动的项目,但我们对发起项目以解决日常运营中反复出现的问题的广泛实践知之甚少。本文报告了一项定性、纵向研究的结果,研究了挪威地方当局的一个项目团队如何在努力解决日常运营挑战的过程中应对紧张局势。我们的发现有助于最近关于pso项目后果的辩论。首先,我们认为pso中的紧张关系可以理论化为共存的制度逻辑之间的竞争,并根据战略所有者能力来理解。此外,我们认为,紧张关系的感知强度会影响项目是否被解释为不同逻辑之间的中间人,或者,在其他时候,作为麻烦制造者,项目团队对上下文复杂性的解释限制了其结合共存制度逻辑的能力。

In this qualitative study, we examine how project members organize for resilience amid adversity by analyzing the case of the 1972 crash of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571. The survivors endured 72 days in the Andes, navigating uncertainty, time pressures, interpersonal conflict, and intense emotions—challenges similar to those in modern project organizations. Using insights from the survivors' (auto-)biographies, we conclude that resilience emerges through members' daily social interactions. Our findings reveal three key elements of project resilience: (1) processing contextuality, where sensebreaking and adaptive sensemaking evolve as adversity unfolds; (2) processing communality, which forms a socio-emotional foundation for resilience; and (3) shifting between different modes of emergent responding, by which project organizations harness the stability of structured responses while retaining the flexibility to adapt under pressure. This study highlights the dynamic processes through which project resilience is cultivated, offering insights for managing resilience in high-stakes environments.
在这个定性研究中,我们通过分析1972年乌拉圭空军571航班坠毁的案例,研究了项目成员如何在逆境中组织弹性。幸存者们在安第斯山脉度过了72天,克服了不确定性、时间压力、人际冲突和强烈的情绪——这些挑战与现代项目组织中的挑战相似。根据幸存者(自我)传记的见解,我们得出结论,复原力是通过成员的日常社会互动产生的。我们的研究结果揭示了项目弹性的三个关键要素:(1)处理情境性,其中意义断裂和适应性意义构建随着逆境的展开而演变;(2)加工共同体,形成心理弹性的社会情感基础;(3)在不同的应急响应模式之间转换,项目组织利用结构化响应的稳定性,同时保持在压力下适应的灵活性。这项研究强调了培养项目弹性的动态过程,为在高风险环境中管理弹性提供了见解。

In recent years, project scholarship has increasingly focused on the dark side of projects. However, these discussions have largely overlooked extant literature on violence that is widely referenced in broader management and organizational studies. In this essay, I argue that normative violence—violence embedded in socio-cultural and legal norms accepted and practiced in broader society—provides a valuable lens through which to analyze and discuss the inequality, harm, and exploitation present in project settings. From this perspective, I argue that future research in project scholarship should investigate how norms—borrowed from external socio-cultural and legal frameworks, as well as those developed and spread within projects—can lead to the infliction of normative violence in, around, and of projects.
近年来,项目奖学金越来越多地关注项目的阴暗面。然而,这些讨论在很大程度上忽视了在更广泛的管理和组织研究中广泛引用的关于暴力的现有文献。在这篇文章中,我认为规范性暴力——嵌入在社会文化和法律规范中的暴力在更广泛的社会中被接受和实践——为分析和讨论项目环境中存在的不平等、伤害和剥削提供了一个有价值的视角。从这个角度来看,我认为未来的项目学术研究应该调查从外部社会文化和法律框架借来的规范,以及那些在项目中发展和传播的规范,是如何导致项目内部、项目周围和项目之间的规范性暴力的。

Crisis is getting attention in project management literature; despite such efforts the topic is still in its infancy. The amount of impact crises has on interorganizational projects drastically increases the significance of crisis management research and calls for dire need to make sense of them. Hence, the purpose of this research is to enhance the understanding of sense-making for crises when multiple organizations are involved in an interorganizational project. We collected data using interviews, observations, archival documents, and illustrative materials to study the case of the International Islamabad Airport project in Pakistan. For analysis, we used grounded theory. Findings provide evidence that both sense-making and sense-giving processes are integrated and engaged for making sense of crises in interorganizational projects. We identified three dimensions of interorganizational sense-making: information gathering (through internal and external sources); crisis interpretation (exogenous, endogenous, social, and technical crises); and reactive responses, which involve direct responses for controllable crises and indirect responses for uncontrollable crises. We also found reporting/recording crises to be an element of sense-giving. The study offers valuable insights on crisis management in interorganizational projects, suggesting that interorganizational projects can better respond to crises by adopting an adaptive and cyclic sense-making approach.
危机在项目管理文献中越来越受到关注;尽管做出了这些努力,这个话题仍处于起步阶段。危机对组织间项目的影响大大增加了危机管理研究的重要性,并呼吁迫切需要理解它们。因此,本研究的目的是增进对多组织参与组织间项目时危机的意义建构的理解。我们使用访谈、观察、档案文件和说明性材料收集数据,以研究巴基斯坦伊斯兰堡国际机场项目的案例。为了进行分析,我们使用了扎根理论。研究结果提供了证据,证明在组织间项目中,意义形成过程和意义赋予过程都被整合和参与,以理解危机。我们确定了组织间意义构建的三个维度:信息收集(通过内部和外部来源);危机解释(外生危机、内生危机、社会危机和技术危机);反应性反应,包括对可控危机的直接反应和对不可控危机的间接反应。我们还发现报告/记录危机是一种赋予意义的元素。本研究为组织间项目的危机管理提供了有价值的见解,表明组织间项目可以通过采用适应性和循环意义构建方法更好地应对危机。

An agency theory unpacking of how monitoring and evaluation affect international development project impact 代理理论揭示了监测和评估如何影响国际发展项目的影响

Impact is the overarching objective of international development (ID) projects, yet many projects struggle to attain it. Both academic literature and practical experience highlight the importance of adequate monitoring and evaluation in ensuring ID project impact. There is, however, not enough theoretical clarity on what constitutes adequate monitoring and evaluation and the specific mechanisms through which monitoring and evaluation affect ID project impact. This study addresses this important literature gap by applying agency theory to conceptualise ID project impact. We propose that monitoring and evaluation are adequate when they resolve agency issues of goal incongruence and information asymmetry. We test this novel conceptualisation statistically by drawing on a sample of 200 survey responses from ID professionals working in Pakistan. The empirical results indicate that project monitoring resolves both goal incongruence and information asymmetry to influence ID project impact. Project evaluation resolved goal incongruence to affect ID project impact, but it had no effect on information asymmetry. This novel theory informed conceptualisation and empirical testing of adequate monitoring and evaluation that resolve agency issues to ensure ID project impact carry substantial implications for both theory and practice.
影响是国际发展项目的首要目标,但许多项目难以实现这一目标。学术文献和实践经验都强调了充分监测和评价在确保身份证项目影响方面的重要性。但是,关于什么是适当的监测和评价,以及监测和评价通过哪些具体机制影响发展中国家项目的影响,在理论上还不够明确。本研究通过运用代理理论概念化ID项目影响来解决这一重要的文献空白。我们建议,当监测和评估解决了目标不一致和信息不对称的代理问题时,监测和评估是足够的。我们通过从巴基斯坦工作的ID专业人员中抽取200个调查回复样本,在统计上测试了这一新颖的概念。实证结果表明,项目监控解决了目标不一致和信息不对称对ID项目影响的影响。项目评价解决了目标不一致,影响了ID项目的影响,但对信息不对称没有影响。这一新颖的理论为充分监测和评估的概念化和实证测试提供了信息,这些监测和评估解决了机构问题,以确保ID项目的影响对理论和实践都具有重大意义。

This novel theory informed conceptualisation and empirical testing of adequate monitoring and evaluation that resolve agency issues to ensure ID project impact carry substantial implications for both theory and practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 8","pages":"Article 102654"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
