Abstract | Project management researchers and practitioners are becoming aware of a growing divide between the foundational theory of project management and the methodologies, tools and systems required to deliver modern-day construction projects. This paper challenges the traditionally accepted, underlying theory of client-side, construction project management (transformational, production management) and proposes the strategic management body of theory as a more valid foundation. This paper examines the assumptions which underpin both the transformational, production management body of theory and the strategic management body of theory and uses comparative analysis to identify correlations and deficiencies between these assumptions and observed practices within the field of client-side, construction, project management. |
