About IRNOP
IRNOP – International Research Network on Organizing by Projects – was founded in 1993 as a loosely coupled network of researchers and has developed since then, expanding to include scholars from countries all over the world. The IRNOP network connects researchers with backgrounds in business, economics, engineering, and other fields, united by a common interest in projects, project organizations, and temporary systems.
