Project organizing in network contexts
Research Handbook on Complex Project Organizing(2023)
摘要
This chapter discusses the utility of different network perspectives for the study of project organizing in general and the study of so-called project network organizations (PNOs) in particular. PNOs are sets of longer-term strategically coordinated relationships between individuals and organizations that collaborate on a project-by-project basis. PNOs have become an important organizational form across different project-based sectors, including creative industries, construction, research, and international development. Following an overview of major properties of PNOs - core project teams, flexible partner pools and strategic coordination, three network perspectives are introduced and applied to examine these three properties: networks as relational structures, networks as governance forms, and networks as organizational systems. Each perspective adds value to our understanding of how PNOs operate, while also having limitations that require a multi-paradigmatic analysis.
