The amount of impact crises has on interorganizational projects drastically increases the significance of crisis management research and calls for dire need to make sense of them. Hence, the purpose of this research is to enhance the understanding of sense-making for crises when multiple organizations are involved in an interorganizational project. We collected data using interviews, observations, archival documents, and illustrative materials to study the case of the International Islamabad Airport project in Pakistan. For analysis, we used grounded theory. Findings provide evidence that both sense-making and sense-giving processes are integrated and engaged for making sense of crises in interorganizational projects. We identified three dimensions of interorganizational sense-making: information gathering (through internal and external sources); crisis interpretation (exogenous, endogenous, social, and technical crises); and reactive responses, which involve direct responses for controllable crises and indirect responses for uncontrollable crises. We also found reporting/recording crises to be an element of sense-giving. The study offers valuable insights on crisis management in interorganizational projects, suggesting that interorganizational projects can better respond to crises by adopting an adaptive and cyclic sense-making approach.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 8","pages":"Article 102662"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142757394","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}

Both academic literature and practical experience highlight the importance of adequate monitoring and evaluation in ensuring ID project impact. There is, however, not enough theoretical clarity on what constitutes adequate monitoring and evaluation and the specific mechanisms through which monitoring and evaluation affect ID project impact. This study addresses this important literature gap by applying agency theory to conceptualise ID project impact. We propose that monitoring and evaluation are adequate when they resolve agency issues of goal incongruence and information asymmetry. We test this novel conceptualisation statistically by drawing on a sample of 200 survey responses from ID professionals working in Pakistan. The empirical results indicate that project monitoring resolves both goal incongruence and information asymmetry to influence ID project impact. Project evaluation resolved goal incongruence to affect ID project impact, but it had no effect on information asymmetry. This novel theory informed conceptualisation and empirical testing of adequate monitoring and evaluation that resolve agency issues to ensure ID project impact carry substantial implications for both theory and practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 8","pages":"Article 102654"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143101222","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}

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.

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}
