Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you know, almost everything that exists can be modeled as a system. This enables us to study and analyze a given system in order to gain an understanding of it and enable external interference. Regardless of whether it is a closed or open system, two critical project management dimensions (relational and processual) can be modeled as systems. Given the increasing importance of minimizing/eliminating “project waste” across different project phases, organizations increasingly implement strategies to manage project risks, namely in two critical dimensions (relational—the interaction between the direct and indirect project stakeholders across the different phases of a PLC; processual—the tools, techniques, and frameworks used to run projects aiming to eliminate/minimize project risks).
In this line of thought, the aim of this Special Issue is to provide readers with the latest developments in risk strategies related to these project dimensions and thus examine project success/failure outcomes regarding these two dimensions.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute research, position papers or other insightful articles that reflect your expertise in the field of the abovementioned subject.
For this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
Aim: To understand the impact of two critical project dimensions (relational, and processual) to manage risk in project management.
Scope: Risk management in project management—how two major dimensions (relational and processual) influence risk management in project management.
I/We look forward to receiving your contributions.
