Hybrid Planning Methods
Paul Charles Nutt · Academy of Management Review · 1982
Organizations use planning methods to improve performance factors associated with their products, services, and operations, but practitioners have few guides for selecting a method that seems best for a particular project type. This paper constructs planning methods by using technique strings that span the creative stages of planning. Hybrid planning methods, made up of technique strings, are matched to eight project types, defined by the sponsor's expectations for quality, acceptance, and/or innovation in the plan.
