Dear Colleagues,
We would like to invite you to the following PDW at the 2010 AOM Conference:
Towards a project based view of strategy, innovation and entrepreneurship: Moving beyond project management III – Project-based Entrepreneurship (Sponsors: TIM, OMT, BPS), Saturday, August 7 2010 3:45PM - 5:45PM at Le Palais Des Congres in 510D
This PDW is designed to facilitate interaction among Academy members interested in project-based organizations. It is an excellent opportunity to focus on how projects increasingly pervade business dimensions from R&D and new product development, to the production of complex capital goods and implementation of organizational change, and occur in diverse industries like engineering, professional services and cultural industries. The PDW investigates the business of project-based organizations (PBOs), in the growing middle ground between market and firm.
Building on two past symposia/ PDWs (2008, 2009) we analyse PBOs as firms, units, or networks of firms set up to complete an assignment within a pre-set deadline. And we address the evolution from traditional operations-driven project management to the strategic role of projects in delivering innovation, organizational change and entrepreneurial opportunities – and the implications for research and teaching. The overall aim of the PDW is to identify promising research questions for the way ahead, e.g. the role of learning and capability building, entrepreneurship, or performance drivers at different levels, e.g. project venture, project team, organization, project network. Hence, two underlying questions to be discussed are: What theories are most suitable to investigate PBOs and how different theories can contribute? We believe that progress in management research often suffers from a lack of interaction between researchers from different theoretical camps that study the same phenomenon. The goal of the PDW is therefore to create a dialogue among members of the Academy over research opportunities in this area.
Organized by Lars Frederiksen (Imperial College London) and Florian Täube (<st1:placename w:st="on">European</st1:placename> <st1:placename w:st="on">Business</st1:placename> <st1:placetype w:st="on">School</st1:placetype>) the PDW brings together distinguished scholars from Europe and the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">US</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
