Projects as communicating systems: Creating a culture of innovation and performance

International Journal of Information Management, 2011, vol. 31, issue 1, 30-37

Abstract: Although often downplayed and instrumental, there is evidence that communication in projects is essential in achieving value creation. Our main interest in this paper is on temporary continuity, a situation where the temporary becomes a permanent condition in social systems. The question that we have address is: What characterizes project communication in a situation with temporary continuity?
