The narrative about the project management profession is dominated by
discussions of "success" and "failure" along with the need to improve
the competence of project managers. As a result, the community is
engaged in a fruitless search for a combination of tools, techniques and
practices that will result in desired outcomes for funders. While the
profession has made recent attempts to incorporate environmental and
social responsibility, these areas are still framed within the existing
discourses of project delivery. The De Gruyter Handbook of Responsible
Project Management seeks to rethink project management by integrating
contributions from the emerging responsible Management domain.
This handbook will explore the nature and extent of project
professionals' responsibility at different levels - individual, team,
organizational and societal - along with the implications for education,
research and practice. The De Gruyter Handbook of Responsible Project
Management offers cutting-edge insights into the fi eld of project
management. It is an essential reference for scholars and practitioners.
