Projectification and its consequences

In the latest issue of the Web of Science-ranked South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences (SAJEMS), Johann Packendorff and Monica Lindgren contribute with an article on different research traditions and foci on projectification. In the article, it is argued that an increased focus on the processes of projectification would be beneficial to project research. By introducing a distinction between narrow and broad conceptualisations of projectification, this research area is extended from its current concern with the increased primacy of projects in contemporary organisational structures into an interest for cultural and discursive processes in a society in which notions of projects are invoked.
