Project hindsight: Exploring necessity and possibility in cycles of structuration and co-evolution (2007)
Journal Article

The successful management of strategic change requires an understanding of which moves are possible in specific contexts, and thus of how specific contexts variously require, forbid, or permit certain organizational or policy actions. Appreciation of... Read More about Project hindsight: Exploring necessity and possibility in cycles of structuration and co-evolution.

A comparison of barcoding and RFID technologies in practice (2007)
Journal Article

This research paper highlights inconsistencies in the way Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is compared to existing barcoding technology and the lack of empirical evidence to support one’s superiority over the other. Reference is drawn to the way... Read More about A comparison of barcoding and RFID technologies in practice.

A mitotic role for BRCA1/BARD1 in tumor suppression? (2006)
Journal Article

The tumor-suppressor protein BRCA1 is thought to act by preserving genomic integrity. In this issue of Cell, Joukov et al. (2006) demonstrate that the BRCA1/BARD1 heterodimer participates in mitotic spindle assembly, a process conducted by the GTPase...

Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects (2006)
Journal Article

This paper puts forth the somewhat controversial position that what is needed to improve project management in practice is not more research on what should be done or the frequency and/or use of traditional project management practices. We argue that... Read More about Rethinking Project Management: Researching the actuality of projects.

The importance of 'process' in Rethinking Project Management: The story of a UK Government-funded research network (2006)
Journal Article

This paper tells the story of a UK Government-funded research network called Rethinking Project Management, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council between 2004 and 2006. The story is significant because of the considerable a... Read More about The importance of 'process' in Rethinking Project Management: The story of a UK Government-funded research network.

The threat to core competence posed by developing closer supply chain relationships (2006)
Journal Article

Supply bases have been rationalised and now fewer “preferred” suppliers are in direct contact with customers, who demand more personal attention and greater responsiveness from them. In developing closer supplier relationships, the exchange of propri... Read More about The threat to core competence posed by developing closer supply chain relationships.
