Book Synopsis Making Sense of Complexity in Projects by : Steve Raue
Download or read book Making Sense of Complexity in Projects written by Steve Raue and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-25 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores ‘project management’ (PM) from a new perspective. Project management is facing a paradigmatic stalemate. Its major challenge is complexity. Its current paradigmatic foundation in first-order cybernetics has reached its limits. More tools are created and project management is applied to any potential context, expecting better results while doing more of the same. Beyond conventional project management, agile and other project management approaches have emerged as new options to answer the complexity challenge. Yet, the question remains whether new options and more tools in light of the current shortcomings can create enough momentum for project management as a whole to overcome its paradigmatic stalemate and evolve toward new paradigms based on second-order cybernetics. This book will embark on a journey to explore current paradigms in project management and argue why an analysis of discourse practices in project management may be critical to generating new paradigmatic perspectives. The aim of this book is to provide an alternative perspective on projects as discourses and project management as a means to observe and conduct these discourses. Instead of defining what projects and project management are, the approach is to look at what people talk about when doing projects and apply project management. It will arrive at a picture of how discourses about project management are shaped and institutionalised through the sensemaking of individuals and selected communities in their specific project practice and how these discourses shape project management in turn. It is argued that this self-reinforcing circle leads to a certain solidification of project management paradigms which prove insufficient in dealing with project complexity. However, it will also be argued that project practitioners can utilise their self-reflection and self-description of these discourse conventions to obtain more meaningful project conversations and arrive at a unified and systemically integrated understanding of project management. This book will be of particular relevance to those interested in current issues underlying project management. More generally, it will be a valuable resource for researchers of project management, organisational studies and governance.

Book Synopsis Project Management by : Harald Meier
Download or read book Project Management written by Harald Meier and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2023-10-09 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companies are increasingly developing into dynamic and project-oriented organizations. Globalization, innovations and organizational dynamics require more and more projects, and thus a more project-oriented corporate organization and management. As a rule, managers as well as employees already work parallel to their line function in projects or completely from project to project. At the same time, cross-company and especially international value chains lead to the cooperation of cross-departamental and intercultural teams. For this, the specialists and executives need above all knowledge and experience in project management and the corresponding concepts as well as in the special form of cooperation, team development and communication. Because the most problems in project management are not caused by project goals and methods, but by the many different problem-solving behavior and attitudes, e.g. between engineers and business people, different departments or the different country cultures. The international IT project specialist Tom DeMarco puts it in a nutshell (in Peopleware - Productive Projects and Teams: The major problems of our work are not so much technological as socio-logical in nature. In terms of content here, in contrast to traditional professional textbooks, not only the technologies are priority, but also the social and intercultural aspects of project work. The book is aimed equally at students of all disciplines with a focus on managerial and project-related work as well as practitioners and entrepreneurs in all private business sectors as well as in NGOs, public projects or PPPs as public-private partnership.

This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2015 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensführung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,7, SRH Hochschule Riedlingen, Veranstaltung: B.A. Economics and Management, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die zunehmende Globalisierung der Märkte bringt eine erhöhte Anzahl internationaler Vorhaben mit sich, größtenteils in Form von Projekten. Durch die Internationalisierung nehmen auch die Herausforderungen in der Umsetzung der Projekte zu. Ein kompetenter Umgang mit diesen Problemstellungen entscheidet letztendlich über Erfolg oder Misserfolg eines Projektes. Eine der größten Herausforderungen besteht in den Unterschiedlichkeiten in der jeweiligen Arbeitskultur, welches sich in der Komplexität der Regeln und Normen der Kultur äußert und zumeist unbewusst bleibt. Einen wesentlichen Faktor für einen internationalen Projekterfolg und damit der Handhabung der kulturellen Unterschiede stellt die interkulturelle Kompetenz des Projektleiters dar. Die Arbeit setzt sich mit der Thematik der interkulturellen Kompetenz als wesentliche Schlüsselkomponente für die erfolgreiche Abwicklung von Projekten am Beispiel China auseinander. Zur Beantwortung der zentralen Forschungsfrage wurde eine qualitative empirische Untersuchung durchgeführt. Auf der Grundlage eines halbstandardisierten Interviews wurden insgesamt 6 Projektleiter aus unterschiedlichen Wirtschaftsbereichen mit Projekterfahrung von mehreren Jahren in China befragt. Untersucht wurden deren subjektive Erfahrungen im Umgang mit den kulturellen Unterschieden in China und welche Fähigkeiten erforderlich sind, um sich in verschiedenen Kontextsituationen angemessen zu verhalten. Die inhaltsanalytische Auswertung nach Mayring zeigt, dass die Projektmanager hohen Anforderungen im Umgang mit den kulturellen Unterschieden in China ausgesetzt sind und interkulturelle Kompetenz zur Bewältigung dieser Unterschiede benötigen. Das Vorhanden-sein von Wissen und das Verständnis der chinesischen Kultur verleiht dem Projektleiter die Kompetenz, verhaltensangepasst mit den chinesischen Teammitgliedern interagieren und damit auch erfolgreich in der Abwicklung von Projekten sein zu können.
Book Synopsis Sociological Work by : Howard Saul Becker
Download or read book Sociological Work written by Howard Saul Becker and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume, including two important and previously unpublished essays on sociological method, represent most of Howard Beckers work of the past twenty years that has not appeared in book form. They reflect the way of thinking about society and how to study it that has established Professor Beckers place among the leading sociologists of our time. Th e result is an important statement of the distinctive theoretical and methodological views associated with the "Chicago School" of sociology, reflecting a deep concern with the study at first hand of the processes and human consequences of collective action and interaction. The first part of the book treats problems of method as problems of social interaction and lists a series of research problems, which require analytic attention-gaining access to research sites, choosing a theoretical framework within which to approach a group or community, avoiding error, and developing hypotheses. They also exemplify this approach by analyzing the interactional aspects of definition, proof with qualitative evidence, bias, and the value commitments of sociology. Part Two illustrates Professor Beckers approach through full reports on two of his major research projects. Part Th ree contains four theoretical statements on how people change (a sociological approach to what psychologists call "personality"), and Part Four makes important contributions to the study of deviance. The papers here ask what we can learn about American society from looking at its common forms of deviance and illustrate the need to study deviance as part of the general study of society, not as an isolated specialty.

The authors take a fresh look at practical models of musical thinking capable of application at every scale of project management, and in every possible project management environment. If you want to make your projects more musical, or simply have an interest exploring project management in music, this is the book for you!

Book Synopsis Yes to the Mess by : Frank J. Barrett
Download or read book Yes to the Mess written by Frank J. Barrett and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Duke Ellington and Miles Davis teach us about leadership How do you cope when faced with complexity and constant change at work? Here’s what the world’s best leaders and teams do: they improvise. They invent novel responses and take calculated risks without a scripted plan or a safety net that guarantees specific outcomes. They negotiate with each other as they proceed, and they don’t dwell on mistakes or stifle each other’s ideas. In short, they say “yes to the mess” that is today’s hurried, harried, yet enormously innovative and fertile world of work. This is exactly what great jazz musicians do. In this revelatory book, accomplished jazz pianist and management scholar Frank Barrett shows how this improvisational “jazz mind-set” and the skills that go along with it are essential for effective leadership today. With fascinating stories of the insights and innovations of jazz greats such as Miles Davis and Sonny Rollins, as well as probing accounts of the wisdom gleaned from his own experience as a jazz musician, Barrett introduces a new model for leading and collaborating in organizations. He describes how, like skilled jazz players, leaders need to master the art of unlearning, perform and experiment simultaneously, and take turns soloing and supporting each other. And with examples that range from manufacturing to the military to high-tech, he illustrates how organizations must take an inventive approach to crisis management, economic volatility, and all the rapidly evolving realities of our globally connected world. Leaders today need to be expert improvisers. Yes to the Mess vividly shows how the principles of jazz thinking and jazz performance can help anyone who leads teams or works with them to develop these critical skills, wherever they sit in the organization. Engaging and insightful, Yes to the Mess is a seminar on collaboration and complexity, against the soulful backdrop of jazz.
