Management Practices in Project-Based Design Environments

Project Leader

Dr Jennifer Whyte

Project Description

This AIM Fellowship looks at management practices in project-based environments. The UK government is investing in major infrastructure projects and programmes. These include the £45 billion Building Schools for the Future Programme, £16 billion CrossRail and £9 billion London 2012 Olympics. There is a significant opportunity to improve the design, and hence sustainability, of the built environment. To do this requires improvements in management practices as well as technological innovation. The state-of-the-art review will draw together academic work on how management decisions are visualized and made in project-based environments. This includes studies of management in the dynamic contexts of projects and temporary organizations and studies of risks and responsibilities in complex organizations.

Project Outcomes

This project is at a very early stage. Outputs will be available in due course.
