摘要：

Most projects exist as part of a multi-project environment. The management of multiple projects presents challenges that are fundamentally different from single project management. Recent theoretical developments in the philosophy of complexity theory provide a basis for gaining insight into the proposition that multi-project management is neither an extension nor a scaled up version of single project management. Genuine multi-project environments exhibit the characteristics of complex adaptive systems which offer novel approaches for the project manager. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd and IPMA. All rights reserved.
