Le management de projet. Nouvel objet de l'histoire d'entreprise

Philip Scranton

Revue française de gestion, 2008, vol. n° 188-189, issue 8, 161-173

Abstract: Project management is big business nowadays, at least in the domains of academic publishing. This literature, designed for practitioners, tends to focus on the ?single-shot project?. Recently, critiques have surfaced concerning the inadequate contextualization of project analyses and theories, both historically and environmentally. This brief contribution would like to reflect on two issues that derive from this discussion: 1) ways to extend correctives to what Engwall terms ?the lonely project? syndrome, where the project is ?conceptualized ... independent of history, contemporary context and future,? and at the close, 2) means to expand the existing set of project histories, a task business historians have in large measure neglected.
