Abstract

After reviewing the literature that highlights the main internal and external factors that could have an impact on the adoption of Project Management consulting services within public organizations in Romania, this study empirically tests the perception of managers of public institutions in Romania regarding the main factors that enhance or limit the process of adopting such consulting services and the main benefits and risks of project management practices. The results of the study highlight the qualitative aspects - the identification of the benefits and risks of adopting consulting services in Project Management, but also the factors that favor or limit their adoption and use, from the perspective of the organizational environment in the public sector.
