This book deals with complexities that are to be found in contemporary literature on projects and temporary organizations. It is a must read for anyone, academic or practitioner alike, that is interested in learning about, and using, projects or other forms of  temporary organizations.

The authors bring to light the importance of understanding projects as social processes that cannot be understood in isolation.
