Project management, traditionally employed to implement projects, has developed into Organizational Project Management as organizations are increasingly using projects to deliver strategies. The emergence of program and portfolio management has also contributed to this move.

PM researchers need to become more innovative in their research approaches. They need to connect with the broader currents of social science in relevant fields such as organization theory. Outside the specific field there is a great deal that can usefully be imported, transformed and translated so that it is fit for project management research purposes.

More trans-disciplinary, translational and transformational approaches for conducting project related research are required and this book goes a long way to provide the foundations for them.

The book encompasses reflections on fundamental questions underlying research, such as the type of knowledge sought, its epistemological and ontological assumptions as well as those questions and issues not raised.

The book broadens research methods and theory perspectives, drawing on contemporary approaches such as action research, soft systems methodology, activity theory, actor-network theory and other approaches.

The editors have included contemporary research methods allied to project research, such as organization science, organizational studies, sociology, behavioral science and biology, providing innovative invitations to research design and methodological choice.

The book makes a significant contribution to the development of project management research as a specialism in the broader social sciences. One which appreciates that any material construction is always a social construction as well, one that implies episteme and phronesis, knowledge and wisdom, as well as technique.

The most important aspects of project management are the meanings, interpretations and politic of projects and not merely the technical aspects.
