Abstract

Abstract Program management has emerged as a growing area of research, supported by a range of popular normative guides. However, the line between programs and projects remains far from clear. This paper contributes to this field by identifying the ten cues that are typically used to distinguish programs from projects. Prototype theory is then introduced as a way of understanding the relationship between these two socially constructed categories. The paper argues that the structure of these categories leads to a tendency to extend from dominant images to less typical category members, with implications for practice.

项目与计划的十大区别及其引发的问题

摘要项目管理已经成为一个不断发展的研究领域，并得到了一系列流行的规范指南的支持。然而，计划和项目之间的界限仍然很不清楚。本文通过识别通常用于区分程序和项目的十个提示，为该领域做出了贡献。原型理论随后被引入，作为理解这两个社会构建类别之间关系的一种方式。本文认为，这些类别的结构导致了从占主导地位的图像延伸到不太典型的类别成员的趋势，这对实践有启示。
