Temporary organizing and permanent contexts
Abstract
Temporary organizing in general and project-based organizing in particular are to be understood only in relation to more permanent contexts such as organizations, inter-organizational networks, industries/fields and society. In view of the ability of organizations to balance permanency and temporariness, they are unlikely to disappear due to temporary organizing. Rather, they will continue to change their form recurrently and, thereby, remain as an essential building block of our more fluid societies today. Using a practice-based perspective informed by structuration theory and critically reviewing empirical studies of project-based organizations and inter-organizational project networks, this article provides a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between the temporary and the permanent.

“Adding to the ongoing discussion on how to balance flexibility and control in projects (Bygballe et al., 2021; Sydow and Windeler, 2020), the findings show that a clear distinction between control and flexibility can be detected in the dis cussion in the group interviews.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
