{"product_id":"9781461376057","title":"Projects as Arenas for Renewal and Learning Processes","description":"\u003ch1\u003eProjects as Arenas for Renewal and Learning Processes\u003c\/h1\u003e \u003ch2\u003eLundin, Rolf A.; Midler, Christophe\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere is a growing tendency to organize various aspects of  business life by projects, and to set up temporary organizations in a  competition where speed and adaptability becomes a major necessity.  Organizing by projects is perceived as a good way to ensure action and  to stress the importance of getting work done. However, there is a  need to balance the stress on action so that learning capabilities are  not only retained, but augmented. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eProjects as Arenas for Renewal and Learning Processes\u003c\/em\u003e provides  examples of how different types of projects function from a learning  or renewal perspective, taken from a wide variety of real-life  environments in industrial and public organizations. This book  illustrates the mistaken habit of assuming too much in the project  area: for example, project notions are, in fact, culture-dependent;  classical market-oriented contracting business relations do not fit  with the learning dimension of projects; and long-term learning on  core competencies and product development projects need to be  connected. The book is also intended to represent many of the research  frontiers in the project field. Enhancing learning capabilities is  - or should be - of a mutual concern to researchers and  managers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-16\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461376057\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461376057\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5691-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 259\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44358762004620,"sku":"9781461376057","price":153.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461376057.jpg?v=1755113606","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781461376057","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
