Project Management Research Conferences 2006

摘要

For the last 18 months I have been a member of a research network, called Rethinking Project Management, sponsored by the UK Government through the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, and managed by the University of Manchester. One of the premises of the network has been that the current knowledge base of Project Management, as reflected in the guidelines to the bodies of knowledge or project management competence produced by professional associations in Europe, Australia and North America, does not fully describe project management as it applies to all projects, particularly complex projects. Thus the knowledge of project management needs to be enhanced and extended, and that is the job of the academic community.
