As knowledge production becomes more specialized, studying complex and multi-faceted empirical realities becomes more difficult. This has created a growing need for cross-fertilization and collaboration between research disciplines. According to prior studies, the sharing of concepts, ideas and...

This study shifts attention from project-based firms (PBFs) to project network organizations (PNOs) as increasingly important interorganizational contexts of project collaboration. As a result of organizational specialization, PNOs have emerged as generic organizational forms combining the...

This paper contributes to the study of projects networks - as a particular type of interorganizational networks - by looking into the mechansims that are able to bind or even lock-in customers into interorganizational relations. The study is set in the field of television production

Project networks have been identified as dynamic organizational forms which are reproduced by sets of project-based actor relationships. Project networks allow for the external pooling of resources and thereby help reconcile the managerial needs for stability and flexibility as well as...

This article develops a relational practice perspective on the strategic formation of project networks as organizational forms, based on structuration theory and an in-depth case study of a European researcher and his project network. Project networks are defined as strategically coordinated...
