Being a Project Manager in a Multinational Corporation: An Interpretive Perspective On Working Practices and Experiences

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

<p>Inspired by the lack of research regarding the firsthand practices and everyday lived experiences of project managers, informed by an ontological orientation, this study looked into what it means to be a project manager in a multinational corporation. It provides an interpretive perspective on these practices and experiences, which includes perspectives of self in relation to an organization and the people, incorporating imagination into work, and organizing for an action.</p>
