Reframing Systems Integration: A Process Perspective on Projects [PDF]
The delivery of large-scale technical systems is achieved through project organizing. The concept of systems integration, with its distinct focus on the systems that projects deliver , is theoretically important as projects become more complex and face significant uncertainty.

A Systemic Perspective on Racism in Football: The Experience of the BRISWA Project
The objective of this paper is to present the process for the development of a causal loop diagram that captures the relevant aspects of racism in football, through a holistic, top-down approach. To do so, a series of workshops/sessions has been organised with experts in the field and with the purpose of designing a tool that could be used to get ...

Project Interdependency Management in IT/IS Project Portfolios: From a Systems Perspective
AbstractCapitalizing on inter-project interdependencies is widely accepted as being crucial for Information Technology/Information Systems (IT/IS) project portfolio success. However, handling these interdependencies becomes a source of increased management complexity as project portfolios get larger, increasingly diverse, and are much influenced by ...

On the Acceptance and Sustainability of Renewable Energy Projects—A Systems Thinking Perspective [PDF]
Rapid population growth and increasing concern related to improving the living standards in impoverished communities without damaging the natural environment have drawn attention to the adoption of renewable energy systems (RES) around the world. Despite this global trend, the implementation of these projects has not succeeded completely in rural poor ...

Large-scale heat pumps in sustainable energy systems: System and project perspectives [PDF]
This paper shows that in support of its ability to improve the overall economic cost-effectiveness and flexibility of the Danish energy system, the financially feasible integration of large-scale heat pumps (HP) with existing combined heat and power (CHP) plants, is critically sensitive to the operational mode of the HP vis-?-vis the operational ...

The User Satisfaction Perspectives of the Information System Projects
<p>It is inevitable that information system (IS) has been the essential role in the management and academic functions of the higher education institutions (HEIs) in developing countries, like Indonesia. In this country, despite the IS project developments have been performed since 1980s, but its performances tended still low.

Construction client multi-projects – A complex adaptive systems perspective
Abstract Most projects exist as part of a multi-project environment. The management of multiple projects presents challenges that are fundamentally different from single project management. Recent theoretical developments in the philosophy of complexity theory provide a basis for gaining insight into the proposition that multi-project management is ...

Embracing multi-functionality in European infrastructure projects: A system of systems perspective
Infrastructure projects undergo multiple changes throughout their lifecycle, adapting to new mobilities, technologies and environments. We build on the System of Systems (SoS) theoretical concept to understand the implications of such infrastructure transformations, specifically when projects move from a single purpose to hosting multiple functions ...
