Project management assets and project management performance: Preliminary findings

There were nearly 500 attendees at the Portland International Centre for Management of Engineering and Technology conference. Over 760 papers were submitted and 344 were accepted. We presented our paper in the Project/Program Management Division to an audience of 40. A number of those in attendance were masters and doctoral students. The combined feedback on our paper/presentation from the audience was extremely helpful. The feedback reinforced the methodological rigor our study and helped us in clarifying several aspects as we work on a revised version of the paper to submit to the Management Research journal. During the evening reception, several individuals thanked us for my presentation and indicated that they found it to be clear and easy to follow. \n \nI would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the A&PDF committee for the generous funding and support to attend this conference and present at it. I thoroughly enjoyed the tracks, especially the constructive dialogue we were able to engage in at the sessions to assist each other with our research endeavors. This conference also enabled me to reconnect with my close research colleague and others in the project management field. I was also able to network with and meet new colleagues. \n \nThank you again. I appreciate all the support from AU. \n \nAs per page 24 of the proceedings (Source: http://www.picmet.org/new/conferences/2011/Picmet11.pdf) \nTHE PAPERS \n“Research papers and applications-oriented papers are explicitly identified in this conference. Separate evaluation criteria were used, and different referees were selected for each category to make sure that appropriate papers were included in the conference for the “Research” and “Application” categories. We emphasized research methodology, the use of the research literature, the theory behind the paper, the sample size, and the impact on the research community for the “Research Papers.” The important evaluation criteria for “Industry Applications” were the usefulness of the application, the importance of the case being discussed, the generalizability of the concepts presented, and the impact of the paper on the users of technology management. The “Research Papers” included in PICMET ’11 are listed with an [R] in front of their titles on the following pages; and the “Industry Applications” papers are shown with an [A] in front of their titles. Roughly 73 percent are in the [R] category, and the rest are in the [A] category. The Research Papers and Industry Applications are mixed in the sessions. This was done intentionally to assure effective exchange of ideas among those presenting research papers and those presenting applications-oriented papers.”
