Mini-Track: Leadership and Communications in Project Management

Working in project teams, project leadership, project communications and stakeholder engagement are critical skills for project success. These skills are necessary whether a project team is a local team or a globally distributed virtual team. This AMCIS 2018 mini-track on “Leadership and Communications in Project Management” invites papers addressing these topics, as well as papers using a leadership or communications perspective to explain increasingly important topics around evolving roles of project participants in new methodological paradigms, cultural and ethical issues in project management, successes and failures in global teams and project networks, and managing conflict, change and benefits realization in project organizations.

For this mini-track, we seek to attract research contributions that extend existing research by focusing on socio-technical, organizational, individual, and managerial challenges surrounding leadership and communications in project management.

We welcome theoretical, conceptual, empirical, and design-oriented contributions for this mini-track. Papers must be submitted through the conference website: https://amcis2018.aisnet.org/
