However, project benefits are often not fully realized, partly because managers find benefits an unclear concept that is difficult to identify, measure, and manage. As a result, various project benefits classification frameworks have been proposed to support managers from the project owner organization in setting the expected benefits before project commencement, managing the project, and evaluating benefits realization following project completion. However, the few existing frameworks include inconsistent, incomplete, and overlapping benefits groups. The objective of this paper is to develop a comprehensive project benefits classification framework to clarify the diverse benefits types and support their management. In an exploratory study, 30 interviews were conducted with senior executives, and in a second study, 173 real-life project benefits were analyzed. Findings from these two empirical studies suggest that project benefits can be classified into 10 groups based on their ultimate beneficiary (the final level of the beneficiary hierarchy): the project owner organization itself or the general public. More specifically, these benefits groups include seven groups of organizational benefits (revenue generation, cost savings, productivity enhancement, quality improvement, risk reduction, compliance, and learning) and three groups of public benefits (economic, social, and environmental). This classification enhances the setting, management, and evaluation of project benefits and advances our understanding of project value creation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 2","pages":"Article 102574"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263786324000164/pdfft?md5=8fa08af3e88dba0843dc81a9925ddb00&pid=1-s2.0-S0263786324000164-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139922467","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}

This essay argues that adopting a political ecology perspective can be useful to start identifying the limitations of the current understandings of external stakeholders and value in infrastructure projects, which lead to the criticised shortcomings. Political ecology considers social, ecological, and economic issues as an assemblage that manifests through power relations. Thus, for project studies, it implies a reconceptualization of external stakeholders and project value around the notions of agency, vulnerability, and empowerment. This reconceptualization provides new theoretical and practical directions for project formation, stakeholder management and project leadership in the pursuit of rethinking the purpose and definition of infrastructure projects for effectively tackling the grand challenges of our times.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 2","pages":"Article 102565"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263786324000073/pdfft?md5=ffbe9d722208701a48a78d924bc193a9&pid=1-s2.0-S0263786324000073-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139817876","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}

Based on primary data drawn from three experiential marketing agency case studies using 34 semi-structured interviews and 33 hours of observation, this paper examines how project-based organisations can effectively facilitate the sharing of leadership. The findings show that trust is a key antecedent to shared leadership in project teams. Specifically, we propose that to enable shared leadership to emerge, individuals should establish intragroup trust - trust with co-workers within their project teams and inter-group trust – trust between members of different project teams, and between project teams and the leadership team. This research is among the first to closely examine whether factors which enable the emergence of shared leadership occur at multiple levels within project-based organisations, and through the use of qualitative approaches, offers a deeper understanding of why trust matters so much within shared leadership in these organisations. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed, and given the exploratory nature of the study, avenues for further research are proposed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 2","pages":"Article 102575"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0263786324000176/pdfft?md5=f04096c6dc2718d053871ca1fbd4cd8b&pid=1-s2.0-S0263786324000176-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140025426","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}

With these issues in mind, we draw on a survey of key dry port project beneficiaries in Brazil to examine and prioritize the risks considered most important at handover to operations. Paying particular attention to project beneficiary heterogeneity and incongruence, we find eight key risk factors – ‘<em>Cost</em>’, ‘<em>Location</em>’, ‘<em>Infrastructure</em>’, ‘<em>Accessibility</em>’, ‘<em>Operational</em>’, ‘<em>Economic</em>’, ‘<em>Political and social’,</em> and ‘<em>Environment</em>’ that warrant emphasis. We reveal congruence among some project beneficiaries in terms of prioritization. We also find variations in handover to operations risks based on project characteristics. However, these characteristics appear to have very limited impact on prioritization. Our findings further point to risk blind spots at critical moments of project handover to operations. Overall, this paper contributes to project risk management/prioritization literature in the context of handover to operations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48429,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Project Management","volume":"42 1","pages":"Article 102558"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139051620","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}

Based on a quantitative analysis of 154 projects, we show both beneficiary involvement and beneficiary participation positively influence short and long-term project success. We find project characteristics such as beneficiary inputs do not significantly influence beneficiary engagement, but implementation context including beneficiary trust in project governance does. While some of these findings appear unexpected, they add to external stakeholder engagement literature, especially in low-and middle-income countries. We suggest a “one-size-fits-all” approach prevails in beneficiary engagement practice.

Through an exploratory qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews and secondary data, our work sheds new light on the link between crisis interdependencies, crisis management responses, and outcomes. In particular, our work unveils the temporal unfolding and interaction between multiple, diverse crises, which can be independent of each other or be linked by sequential or pooled interdependencies. Our findings underscore that crisis management responses that target crisis-specific effects can be successful in the face of independent or sequentially interdependent crises but can lead, at best, to midground outcomes when dealing with combined effects that result from crises that display pooled interdependence.
