Summary
This article examines theoretical and methodological traits of project management and their practical dimensions. It proposes a project-based management perspective and argues that this perspective enjoys the flexibility enabling an organization to respond to volatile environmental stimuli, to foster its creative capacity and to maintain its competitiveness. The proposed conceptual principles and models are elicited by analyzing the structure of the management process and examining its impact on the achievement of various strategic (project) goals. Finally, we identify specific team characteristics and leadership responsibilities conducive to best results in project management.
