Abstract:
Every organisation has a unique culture which is created through years of
leadership, along with individuals who share common values and work to achieve
organisational goals. Interaction and coordination among individuals and different
groups too influence the work culture, which in turn affects the projects
undertaken by the organisation. Projects also affects the behaviour and interests
of the group and individuals and vice versa. Apt project structure in an
organisational structure is a key factor for organisational success. Quick Business
Solutions, a software company, is facing a similar problem in structuring its
project structure. This case study deals in general about project organisation
structure and integration; and in particular the kinds of structures applicable to
projects. Finally, the case study poses the following questions – Does a change
in project structure have any impact on organisation structure? If yes, then how
efficiently should a project manager build the project structure.
Pedagogical Objectives:
- To understand the relationship between organisation structure and project structure
- To highlight the roles and responsibilities of a project manager
