| Resumo: | [Excerpt] The mission of the IJISPM - International Journal of Information Systems and Project Managementis the dissemination of new scientific knowledge on information systems management and project management, encouraging further progress in theory and practice. It is our great pleasure to bring you the second number of the sixth volume of IJISPM. In this issue readers will find important contributions on sustainability in projects, reusing project knowledge, governance of inter-organizational systems,and IT program management challenges. As Rutger T. Peenstraand A. J. Gilbert Silvius state in the first article “Considering sustainability in projects: exploring the perspective of suppliers”, projects play an important role in the development towards a more sustainable society. Companies are integrating sustainability in their strategies, processes and actions. The relationship between sustainability and project management is therefore being addressed in a growing number of studies and publications and sustainability can be considered one of the recent trends in project management. However, there isstill a gap between the literature on sustainability in project management and what is carried out in practice. A logical enabler for the consideration of sustainability in projects may be the demand of the client in the project, although the supplier’s strategy may also be an enabler of sustainability. This article reports a study into the enablers of the integration of sustainability in projects as perceived by project suppliers. The authors discovered three distinct patterns of enablers of the integration of sustainability, that were labelled as “Benefits driven”, “Demand and intrinsic motivation driven” and “Demand and Strategy driven”. The study found that for project suppliers, integrating sustainability in projects is strongly dependent on the demand and willingness of the customer to pay for sustainability. However, adoption of sustainability could also be a differentiator for suppliers. [...] |
