It explores the topics of project, programme and portfolio management, and self-organizing in and through projects. Offering international and multidisciplinary perspectives, this book answers questions such as: What is the impact of self-organization on organizational structures, processes, cultures and leadership? How can we define the transformative power of self-organization? What is the motivation of individuals to perform activities, to engage with others and organizations in order to get things done? Which kinds of leadership best support self-organizing in projects? What have disciplines like natural science, psychology, philosophy, sociology and management to offer in this respect? What are the cultural limitations and potentials regarding self-organization in projects and how do we deal with them? Research on Project, Programme and Portfolio Management is a valuable resource for all researchers and project management professionals interested in autonomous working and self-organizing.
