\nEdgaras Rakevi\u010dius och Louis Auzias, Link\u00f6pings Universitet, erh\u00e5ller Svenska Projektakademiens pris f\u00f6r b\u00e4sta C\/D-uppsats med inriktning mot projektledning och projektorganiserade f\u00f6retag 2017. Uppsatsen, The process of knowledge integration: A case study of a change project<\/a>, syftar till att studera kunskapsintegration som ett processuellt fenoment \u00f6ver projektets livscykel. Baserat p\u00e5 aktuell forskning om kunskapsintegration studerar man mekanismer och managementutmaningar som \u00e4r aktuella i i fyra olika teamprocesser. Man visar p\u00e5 ett mycket v\u00e4l underbyggt s\u00e4tt hur de olika processerna g\u00e5r till i de olika teamen, och finner att kunskapsintegrationen \u00f6ver tid b\u00e5de beror av vllka utmaningar som dyker upp och hanteras, och av hur relationerna mellan akt\u00f6rerna f\u00f6r\u00e4ndras. Detta kan i inte ov\u00e4sentlig utstr\u00e4ckning p\u00e5verkas av management. Uppsatsen \u00e4r mycket v\u00e4lskriven, n\u00e4ra forskningsfronten och ambiti\u00f6st upplagd i alla delar.<\/p>\n \nJuryns motivering: Edgaras Rakevi\u010dius och Louis Auzias, Link\u00f6pings Universitet. Knowledge integration is rather a new and not fully explored concept in business management. However there are many scholars, who have researched knowledge integration in recent decades. This thesis is conducted in order to draw attention towards knowledge integration and its processual phenomena. \u00a0The interest of this research is to find out how does the knowledge integration process change during the evolution of project. The thesis is well written, well aligned both to current research frontiers and practical needs and a showcase of impressive methodological and analytical abilities.<\/i><\/p>\n Ytterligare tv\u00e5 uppsatser valdes ut till den sp\u00e4nnande finalomg\u00e5ngen:<\/p>\n I Svenska ProjektAkademiens \u00e5rliga uppsatst\u00e4vling har inf\u00f6r 2017 \u00e5rs pris inkommit 13 uppsatser fr\u00e5n inte mindre \u00e4n \u00e5tta l\u00e4ros\u00e4ten.

Fourteen case studies are used to explore the project management techniques used by film festivals across Europe. An extensive theoretical framework brings together a number of key fields for the first time and provides an informative background to the study. Based on this theoretical framework a conceptual model was developed, \u2018the film festival \u2018smoothie\u2019 model\u2019, which provides a guide for data collection and analysis. The research focuses on traditional and contemporary project management techniques, but also contextual factors that impact upon the project management of film festivals. The findings show that a creative, reactive and flexible approach to project management is vital within film festival organisations and supports earlier research calling for a rethinking of project management to consider the growing presence of \u2018soft projects\u2019 and contextual factors of projects.<\/p>\n<\/a>Jonathan Adut, Kungl Tekniska H\u00f6gskolan: Applying agile approaches in public construction and civil engineering projects<\/a>.<\/strong>Project management of today is no longer about managing the sequence of steps required to complete the project on time. It is about systematically incorporating the voice of the customer, creating a disciplined way of prioritising effort and resolving trade-offs, working concurrently on all aspects of the project in multi-functional teams. Studying the concept of Agile Project Management allows for just that.
\nAgile approaches allow the project management process to be a vivid and continuously updated. Agile project management provides project managers with methods, tools and approaches to aid both the project manager and project client to engage in a more efficient manner, allowing for more open communication, feedback sessions and the notion of pursuing a shared goal towards successful project management.
\nThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether project management within the C&CE industry \u2013 which so far mostly has been carried out in a traditional way \u2013 could benefit from utilising agile approaches. By studying both traditional project management and observing how projects were run at WSP Management, as well as interviewing experienced senior project managers, the identification of possible agile approaches was identified. Combining the foundation of knowledge about the traditional sense of project management with agile theory, value & principles and interviews with agile experts \u2013 it became evident that the possibilities of utilising and benefitting from agile approaches in the C&CE industry is viable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
