An outstanding overview of project management.
“A possible “meta” approach of the project management field—the unit of analysis—respectful of the various perspectives in existence, while providing an integrative ontological and epistemological framework.”
Conclusion should also be noted: ”
‘Complexity, ambiguity and uncertainty,’ ‘integrative epistemological approach,’
modeling and its underlying bases (N vs. S-Learning, Praxeology), ‘Acting, Knowing and Learning.’ and Theory of Convention seem to form a robust theoretical background to the development and content of any framework aimed at addressing the challenge of value creation in complex, ambiguous, and uncertain environments and situations.”
Complexity has to be recognized and accommodated.
