A Forward Looking Approach to Project ManagementThe Systems View of Management-II

A Forward Looking Approach to Project Management: The Systems View of Management-II [This chapter focuses on the organizational system in the project management context. It begins with the identification of four frames of reference in the context of the project organization. These four include: (a) The structural frame, (b) The human resource frame, (c) The political frame, and (d) The symbolic frame. In line with conventional literature, the chapter restricts itself to the structural frame and defers the tacit treatment of the remainder of the frames in other sections within the book. The focus then moves toward the conventional understanding of the three types of organizations viz. functional, projectized, or the matrix types. The chapter then delves into making an informed decision on how one should choose the type of the organization. This is followed by an interesting new paradigm called the Biological Entrepreneurial Model for the structural frame of the project organization.] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter focuses on the organizational system in the project management context. It begins with the identification of four frames of reference in the context of the project organization. These four include: (a) The structural frame, (b) The human resource frame, (c) The political frame, and (d) The symbolic frame. In line with conventional literature, the chapter restricts itself to the structural frame and defers the tacit treatment of the remainder of the frames in other sections within the book. The focus then moves toward the conventional understanding of the three types of organizations viz. functional, projectized, or the matrix types. The chapter then delves into making an informed decision on how one should choose the type of the organization. This is followed by an interesting new paradigm called the Biological Entrepreneurial Model for the structural frame of the project organization.]
