Guest Editorial: Reinvigorating Project Management Research and Practice: Perspectives from the Non-Profit Sector

Resumen

The genesis of this Special Issue was a conference on ?Delivering Social Good: Managing Projects in the Non-Profit Sector? held at the University of Limerick in October 2014.  The diversity that exists within the broad non-profit sector became apparent at this event, as did its increasing projectification and the variety of organizational forms and models resulting from this trend. Tools, techniques, processes and practices inherited from the business world were described, as were methodologies adopted, adapted and specifically designed for work in areas like international development, humanitarian work and community settings. Insights into the lived experiences of project managers in the non-profit sector were also shared, as were a number of diverse conceptualisations of temporary organisations.
