Abstract

Megaprojects have a complex and evolving web of organisations arranged in a multilevel and multiphase structure, with intra- and inter-organisational boundaries evolving during the life cycle. This systematic review explores organisation design in megaprojects, identifying the processes for designing temporary megaproject organisational systems. The review analyses 141 full articles from a sample of 10,078 papers and presents three main contributions: the main theoretical lenses used to develop organisation design research in megaprojects, eight decision dimensions influencing organisation design choices, and the most common organisational capabilities. We present the Megaproject Organisation Design (MegaOD) Framework, as a structure to design organisational boundaries, and to identify the organisational dynamics (design, development, and redesign). We suggest four research streams to advance the design of complex organisations: 1. Design of megaproject ecosystems, 2. Degree of organisational interdependence, 3. Design for integration of product and organisational architectures, and 4. The role of organisational designers.

巨型项目中的组织设计：系统文献综述和研究议程

超大型项目的组织结构复杂且不断变化，采用多层次、多阶段的结构安排，组织内部和组织之间的界限在生命周期中不断变化。这篇系统性综述探讨了巨型项目中的组织设计，确定了临时性巨型项目组织系统的设计过程。综述分析了 10,078 篇论文样本中的 141 篇完整文章，并提出了三项主要贡献：用于开展超大项目组织设计研究的主要理论视角、影响组织设计选择的八个决策维度以及最常见的组织能力。我们提出了巨型项目组织设计（MegaOD）框架，作为设计组织边界和确定组织动态（设计、发展和再设计）的结构。我们提出了推进复杂组织设计的四个研究流：1.巨型项目生态系统的设计；2.组织的相互依存程度；3.产品与组织架构的整合设计；4.组织设计师的作用。组织设计师的作用。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Project Management is recognized as a premier publication in the field of project management and organization studies. Our main objective is to contribute to the advancement of project management and project organizing through the publication of groundbreaking research. We are dedicated to presenting fresh insights and new knowledge in various domains, including project management, program management, portfolio management, project-oriented organizations, project networks, and project-oriented societies. We actively encourage submissions that explore project management and organizing from the perspectives of organizational behavior, strategy, supply chain management, technology, change management, innovation, and sustainability. By publishing high-quality research articles and reviews, we strive to revolutionize the academic landscape and propel the field of project management forward. We invite researchers, scholars, and practitioners to contribute to our journal and be a part of the progressive development in this exciting field.
