Project and strategic management scholarship recognises the importance of project capabilities that allow firms to deliver projects. Although work on is a fast-growing line inquiry, little still known about how clients assemble achieve operational outcomes in inter-organisational settings. This study seeks apply theoretical domain infrastructure delivery order understand assembly temporary settings contributes outcomes. The empirical enquiry takes place context London Heathrow Terminal 2....

In response to climate change issues, increasing numbers of vanguard projects are being established help governments achieve sustainability goals through rapid technology development. We focus on the transition intermediation literature argue that projects, as spaces, enable core and external project actors assume intermediary characteristics align, negotiate, pursue policy level beyond remit conventional goals. contribute studies by providing a macrolevel contextualization in wider...

There is growing interest in the ways that value understood context of projects and within project-based settings. Recent studies emphasise multiplicity project various settings as perceived by different actors. Drawing on previous work front-end, this study expands idea early definition phase. To end, draws from empirical data infrastructure provision, including semi-structured interviews with a set highly experienced senior level informants extensive knowledge familiarity planning...

Project scholarship suggests that an increasing volume of activities in organizations, economies, and societies occurs the form temporary projects. Drawing on research project value, we aim to build a contextual understanding why business organizations choose participate Discussing value creation, capture, destruction patterns for owner, project-based firm, domains organizing, develop typology organizations. We contribute theory debate studies, integrating conversations projectification...

Although a number of studies are devoted to studying design practice, very little is known about how the managerial decisions made steer process. This article sets forth an exploration decision making in interdisciplinary To this end, paper derives theoretical framework, which posits that process-level management based on decision-making frames set context for activity. The provides evidence framework by using data from interpretive case study large-scale engineering infrastructure project....

AbstractSpace is often designed based on the representations of user activities (i.e. lists, organograms or flowcharts) that streamline in stepwise, oversimplified, may leave insufficient room for future activity development. However, design can anticipate development if users are able to represent their own while participating process. A case study a medical imaging centre reveals once have such opportunity, spatial practices not only taken into account but also expanded. The designers, and...

While projects in the Information Technology (IT) domain have been studied extensively, not much is known about practices of knowledge work that needed for IT to be brought together and enacted as temporary organisational structures. Building on knowledge-as-practice perspective, we set out explore collaborative work, which occurs through dialogic across domains projects. Drawing upon multiple case study research industry, run a qualitative analysis based semi-structured interviews with...

This paper examines the process of design and engineering in large-scale construction projects delivered by multinational organizations. The analysis is on basis using transaction cost economics to represent as a stream intra-firm transactions between local contracting office network subsidiary offices. then applies concept asset specificity process-level knowledge induces theoretical framework expertise assets. posits that different levels lead modes for governance work packages...

This paper proposes an alternative perspective on the role of leadership in context collaborative practices architecture, engineering and construction design.While most current literature is focused outstanding individuals with abilities to influence others, aim this study focus as a set emergent interactive practices.To end, presents video-based interaction analysis design workshop for medical imaging centre Netherlands.Findings suggest that leadership-as-practice emerged through specific...

Building on extant research domains of project organising, the aim this study is to explore application concept owner capabilities wider setting society. To end, focuses context project-supported organisations (PSOs) that operate through a continuous provision goods and services only occasionally undertake projects expand or maintain its business infrastructure. We select fast-moving consumer goods, where have role capacity expansion extension operational capability. Engaging with 18...

This paper revisits the main factors and considerations that drive decision to invest in major capital projects airport infrastructure, specifically expansion programmes. To this end, explores how governments, operators investors have navigated project front-end (strategic assessment, business justification, option decision, investment decision) planning of Heathrow, Schiphol Dublin Airport Through inductive research on publicly available material, professional conference reports,...

Out-care centers are small health units with the aim to provide certain care functions in close proximity patients. Planning for optimally locating such within an urban area is, however, not easy task. This paper presents agent-based model support localization decision making of out-care a specific setting. The accounts patient preferences when choosing center, instance, travel time, waiting time at walking distance and around service level center. also uses historical history data predict...

Boundary crossing is a strategy as well tactic to bridge the gap between different activities in an organization.In design projects, boundary mainly associated with strategies such multidisciplinary teams, integrated delivery methods and collaborative technologies.The value of these practice depends on negotiation around object design, which oriented to, one hand, exchange value, and, other use value.Learning requires dealing this specific contradiction at boundaries projects.To let students...

Based upon a conceptualization of the engineering design process as pragmatic inquiry, this paper introduces framework for supporting designers and managers with better understanding trade-offs required successful implementation simulation tools.This contributes to field technology research by extending four principles mindfulness-accounting novelty, alertness distinctiveness, sensitivity different contexts, awareness multiple perspectives-to realm implementing tools within organizations.At...
