This paper shows how causes and mechanisms behind past information technology (IT) project failures can be used for systematic risk mitigation in new IT projects. This is significant because successful IT projects are needed to realise the benefit potential of digitalisation, whereas failed IT...

The role of external parties in the innovation efforts has received much attention on the firm-level, but there are less studies on open innovation projects. This is surprising, since projects are frequently used to carry out open innovation activities. In this study, a systematic literature...

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is the most comprehensive reform of the U.S. medical system in at least 45 years. The ACA transforms the non-group insurance market in the United States, mandates that most residents have health insurance, significantly expands public...

We propose and study properties of several estimators of variance decomposition in the local-projections framework. We find for empirically relevant sample sizes that, after being bias corrected with bootstrap, our estimators perform well in simulations. We also illustrate the workings of our...

The central thesis of this paper is that the management of portfolios incorporating a variety of investment assets does require the use of time and other scarce resources in searching for, collecting, interpreting, and applying relevant information. Accordingly, the returns on these assets would...

Development of healthcare services is a societal responsibility often appearing as major public projects. These types of projects often have a long lifetime expectancy and represent large investments and changes to established welfare systems with a considerable societal impact. This makes...

The current qualitative research methodologies employed to study projects are heavily dependent on interviews, despite data being created across different media in this digital age. Social media, news articles, LinkedIn profiles, WhatsApp groups, etc. can have influence on project stakeholders,...

In this article we present findings from an investigation into the influence of partnering success factors on multi-partner projects’ abilities to meet time schedule, budget, and technical specifications. Our findings are based on the analysis of nation-wide surveys within the engineering...

Understanding job requirements for adaptive performance is increasingly important in light of the pace of change that typifies many workplaces today. The purpose of this research is to investigate job requirements for adaptive performance in a sample set of project managers. The eight-dimension...
