The UK's University of Manchester Management School Web Site Abstract calling for a new collegial network of international experts to dialogue on the matter of "rethinking project management" is:
"Over the past decade, there has a growing number of critiques of project management as formulated during the 1960s. These have been both empirical, evinced by numerous studies of project performance, and conceptual, such as Peter Morris’ advocacy of the “management of projects”.
Yet, in parallel with this growing internal critique, the attractiveness of project forms of organisation for the delivery of assets and services for clients has been growing rapidly. Project management is again joining the mainstream of management research and practice in both the private and public sectors. As a result, the EPSRC has financed a network entitled Rethinking Project Management : Developing a New Research Agenda. This paper will present one contribution to the debates within this network which advocates viewing project organisations as information processing systems for making sense of the future."
