From Project Management to the ‘Management of Projects’

Abstract

This paper suggests that were three main motivations driving Peter Morris to develop the Management of Projects (MoP) as an alternative approach to traditional project management: first, the need to improve the performance and practice of project management; second, the need to understand the history, context and challenges facing society; and third the need to engage with theory and scholarship. The paper draws upon Peter’s three main single or co-authored books which form the corpus of his work on MoP.
