Professors Ingason and Jonasson at the University of Reykjavik outline the issues in new series article
18 February 2015 – Dallas, London, Sydney – The Role of Academic Institutions in Educating and Training Project Managers is a new article By Helgi Thor Ingason and Haukur Ingi Jonasson at the University of Reykjavik in Iceland. The article is the first in a new series published in the PM World Journal and added to the PM World Library this month.
According to the authors: “‘Over the last two decades we, as academics who focus specifically on teaching, training and doing research in project management, have noticed how project management, as a discipline, is undergoing a major shift. Project management has evolved from being offered solely in the form of short courses with a rather narrow technical focus within engineering and business schools—typically in the form of CE (continuous education) courses—to becoming a rich academic discipline with a sharp practical focus… Through this series of short articles we would like to share our experience and philosophy with the readers of the PM World Journal; how we envision project management as a discipline and the role of educational institutions in promoting higher-level professional project management. We view project management education, research and training as the key success factor for business organisations in the future.”
