- Building on a brief illustration, this article discusses the need for new empirical fields and methods in project management research. This would not only provide novel insights into project practices and management, but would also entail questioning the hegemony (Gramsci, 1988) of project management and project research. We argue that the hegemony is upheld by, or perhaps even constructed through, the language and the ideal images of the area, developed by project researchers and used by project practitioners; adding to what could be called 'the social power' (Bourdieu, 1991) of those involved in what are called 'projects' and 'project management'. It is also argued that the social power of those familiar with 'projects' and 'project management' is sustained by the silence of all those involved in similar practices, but who do not master the terminology of project work.

Guiding in the City of Tomorrow : Materializing the Future Through Future and Present Components
- 2013

- This paper explores an intrinsic case of a guided tour of a future city: Stockholm Royal Seaport. Whereas guided city tours usually aim at educating and enlightening those guided about the past and present of the place visited – building the truth claim by relating what is said in the tour to the physical environment of the tour – the case described in this paper offers the opportunity to explore how the urban future is made material to those guided. The study shows that the guide’s actions materialized the urban future in two ways: by using future components of the future and by using present components of the future. Based on this analysis, we conclude that both these ways function as ways of confirming the present.

Rethinking dichotomization : A critical perspective on the use of "hard" and "soft" in project management research
- 2014

Ingår i: International Journal of Project Management. - : Elsevier. - 0263-7863 .- 1873-4634. ; 32:4, s. 568-577

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper elaborates on the categorization dichotomization between "hard" and "soft" in project management research. This categorization is becoming more increasingly used in project management research for example by stating that some projects are "hard", while other projects are "soft", that some project skills are "hard", while other project skills are "soft" etc. The aim is to discuss this dichotomization as an example of hierarchization a power struggle between opposites within project management research and literature and acknowledge the effects for project management research and practice of unreflective upholding of this dichotomy. We provide a critical review and discussion of stage-gate models as an example of "hard" project management approaches, and agile methods as an example of "soft" approaches to project management and acknowledge that in project management practice, it seems as if "hard" and "soft" approaches are most often combined. Hence, this dichotomy seems to be upheld by the research community while practitioners show a more holistic perspective to project management.
