The aim of this paper is to increase the understanding of practices for managing strategic projects in inter-organisational contexts, initiated by public client organisations. Applying a practice perspective, this paper presents a case study exploring a strategic project to test collaborative contracting in road maintenance contracts for a public infrastructure client in Sweden. The findings revealed a lack of structure regarding both participation and responsibilities, as well as uncertainties and ambiguities with respect to the goal of the strategic change. The study shows how strategic practices move from central units at the permanent organisational level to the contract level where the strategic project is operationalised and tested, isolating the project and making project actors act as middle managers in-between the project and parent organisation.

In the context of project business, the circular economy (CE) principle of reuse displays considerable potential for reducing resource usage. The front-end of a project is a critical phase as the value potential of the project depends on how project actors commit to its objectives, such as sustainability. In this study, we elaborate on how value creation and actor roles are affected during the front-end of a demonstration project that applies the reuse principle in construction. We show that as a project applies this principle, project actors must assume different roles during the front-end and that new types of values emerge through knowledge-sharing, joint development of new practices, and new business opportunities. Based on our observations, we argue that reusing concrete elements has the potential to create significant environmental and economic value and despite several remaining barriers, it could contribute to a wider systemic sustainability transition.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 7","pages":"Article 102647"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553604","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Work on the projectification and programmification of society confirms that projects and programmes are privileged organisational forms that contribute to the transformation of socio-technical systems responsible for the main functions of our economies. The aim of this article is to analyse the interaction dynamics of programme integration in project systems and operational systems within the COVID-19 vaccination campaign in France, which enabled the rapid and effective transition to a global vaccine supply chain capable of immunising 80 % of the French population. Our results present a model of multi-level programme integration dynamics resulting from two systems integration mechanisms: macro-micro systems integration and meso-micro systems integration. These results show that the lifecycles of project systems and operational systems were intertwined during the vaccination campaign, combining systems integration and operational integration through a dynamic of destabilisation and adaptation. This entanglement enabled major functional changes in the French vaccination chain. Our approach is original in that it sheds light on the relationships that exist at the boundary between projects and operations, which are organised as socio-technical systems. The challenges posed by the need to transform such systems open promising research prospects for the management of strategic programmes with a societal impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 7","pages":"Article 102638"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142553605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our argument addresses the growing need for organizational strategies that focus on more inclusive approaches, the moral foundations of stakeholder thinking, and the necessity of considering marginalized groups. Recent debates in management and organizational scholarship have conveyed a key message to organizations: the need for them to contribute to a more cohesive and sustainable world. However, this paradigm shift from stakeholder ‘management’ to ‘engagement’ also presents new challenges for (project) organizations as they seek to address and balance the needs and demands of multiple stakeholders. Such approaches require more collaborative and inclusive structures to tackle pressing social issues and to recognize a broader array of stakeholders in value-creation processes. Against this backdrop, the focus of this Special Issue is on advancing theory and evidence related to the nature, aims, processes, and consequences of stakeholder engagement in temporary organizations. We summarize the contributions of each of the six articles that make up this Special Issue, noting in particular their methodological and theoretical diversity.
