Central to this program is its strong focus on project management and engineering leadership, to drive ethical decision-making in their professional contexts. A total of 102 current and graduated students from the master's program were surveyed to explore their use of generative AI tools, such as ChatGPT and Grammarly, in both professional and academic contexts. The survey showed that 98 % of students actively use generative AI, demonstrating an awareness of its potential and usefulness.

Using bibliometric techniques and CiteSpace visualization, key research trends, collaborative networks, and emerging fields within PM-IM literature are identified. The findings reveal three dominant disciplinary pillars—management, engineering, and business—shaping the PIM domain, while collaboration across institutions and countries remains sparse. Furthermore, foundational research landmarks, particularly the influence of the Stage-Gate system and dynamic capabilities in innovation-driven projects are revealed. The analysis highlights three dominant research streams: (1) managing project uncertainty in high-VUCA environments, (2) innovation-driven project methodologies, and (3) applications of PIM across diverse sectors. Furthermore, emerging research frontiers indicate increasing interest in artificial intelligence (AI), agile product management, and digital transformation in innovation projects. By providing a structured overview of the PM-IM confluence, this study offers valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals aiming to navigate the evolving landscape of project-based innovation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100181"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143776546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is also indicated that the level of consensus on the use of Building Information Models is positively related with the project's Building Information Model maturity and that parties with a central role in a project team score higher on the level of the sharedness of mental models for the use of this technology. This study emphasizes significant risks and challenges in collaboration based on Building Information Models among project participants arising from variations in sharedness of mental models. It is crucial for project management to engage in explicit and open discussions between project partners about risks and challenges related to the Team Mental Models, and implement measures to mitigate and resolve these issues.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100180"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143874942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research delves into the interplay between support and prospect theories, aiming to elucidate the underpinnings of biases in decision-making processes. By juxtaposing these theories within the broader framework of project management, I present an innovative conceptual model that seeks to bridge the gap between the so-called internal and external views in forecasting. This model highlights the potential for a more synergistic approach to forecasting, challenging the traditionally held notion of incompatibility between these perspectives. Through this lens, the author advocates for a holistic approach to project estimation, emphasizing the potential to counteract the pitfalls of cost underestimation stemming from optimism bias. Indeed, by adopting this holistic view, I maintain that project managers and stakeholders can be better equipped to navigate the complexities of project estimation, thereby mitigating the adverse effects of cost underestimation that are intrinsically linked to optimism bias.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101050,"journal":{"name":"Project Leadership and Society","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143097219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
