A typology of project management: emergence and evolution of new forms

Abstract

Traditionally, project management has focused on the management of projects on a single location either within one organization or among two or more organizations. Recently, however, emerging trends are changing the way projects are organized and managed, creating new challenges in project management research and practice. This paper has two objectives. First, it proposes a classification of project management types based on the number of projects and sites involved and investigate the consequences of such schema. Second, the evolution of projects across three levels is discussed.
