Abstract

Prior research has indicated that knowledge integration is essential for succeeding with large-scale transformation (LST) projects. However, research has largely ignored the processual properties of knowledge integration. This article embarks on the notion of knowledge entrainment and demonstrates the criticality of the processual nature of knowledge integration. Through a comparative qualitative case study of two LST projects in the healthcare sector, two knowledge entrainment strategies were identified (the evidence-based strategy and the innovation-based strategy). Data analysis uncovered triggers, practices, and outcomes of the two knowledge entrainment strategies. Additionally, the central role of temporary project management offices (PMOs) for arranging knowledge entrainment within the LST projects is demonstrated.

大型转型项目中的知识整合：循证战略与创新战略

先前的研究表明，知识整合对于大规模转型（LST）项目的成功至关重要。然而，研究在很大程度上忽视了知识整合的过程性特点。本文探讨了知识整合的概念，并证明了知识整合过程性的重要性。通过对医疗保健领域的两个 LST 项目进行比较定性案例研究，确定了两种知识诱导策略（基于证据的策略和基于创新的策略）。数据分析揭示了两种知识整合策略的诱因、实践和结果。此外，还证明了临时项目管理办公室（PMO）在安排 LST 项目中的知识引入方面所起的核心作用。

期刊介绍： Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management. Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise. PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
