Towards Management Guidelines for Collaborative Research Projects on Information Systems – Learning from Project Management Contingency Theory
Jan vom Brocke, Sonia Lippe · 2010
Large scale publicly funded research projects involving both academia and industry have gained tremendous importance in information systems research. However, little knowledge is available on how to suitably manage these projects. Project management contingency frameworks can help to characterize the specific type of a project and offer guidelines for its management. In this paper we apply these frameworks to collaborative research projects. As a result we present a first set of management guidelines derived from each framework and highlight further directions of research towards a comprehensive management approach for collaborative research projects These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
