The January 1971 JRME editorial included a discussion of the problem of incorporating or pulling together the large number of seemingly unrelated studies reported in the Journal. The suggestion was made for “Coordinated efforts in designing large ‘blocks’ of complementary studies in an area, under some common direction [p. 3].” An invitation was extended to researchers to submit papers that represent a coordinated research effort. The invitation was accepted by a group of researchers at the Pennsylvania State University, and this issue of JRME includes a collection of their papers, which were generated by just such a research program, entitled Toward a Theory of Sequencing: An Integrated Program of Research.

Abstract A sample accountability quality assurance (QA) program is described for a field and laboratory research effort which resulted in collection of approximately 2000 samples for analysis by several EPA and contractor laboratories. A QA program was specifically developed for this research program to include sample transfer from collection site to storage maintenance, record development, transfer to researchers, and sample tracking at all stages. A sample identification system and sample custody records are described for field and laboratory application. The functions of a sample coordinator are also described as relating to sample custody, coordination of sample analysis with researchers, and development of computer record files to facilitate research and sample tracking.

The Future

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to describe and analyze important parts of the contemporary development of project research and to outline plausible and desirable directions for the future. Design/methodology/approach This is accomplished through a review of the “Scandinavian School of Project Management” and “Rethinking Project Management,” which is complemented with a set of questions distributed to 27 active researchers within the project research field from around the world. Findings Through the analysis the authors show how the two streams have more similarities than differences, despite the fact that they have been initiated in very different contexty 8ts and ways. The authors could also conclude that the “Scandinavian School” appears stronger on the international scene than in the Nordic countries, and that general perception of what the “school” stands for has changed and been blurred with time. Based on the analysis the authors also proposed the need for a broad, more coherent research effort in terms of a multi-perspective research program on projects and temporary organizations. The essence of this would be: an action research profile to improve practice and foresee the future; a combined research focus on institutional change and project practice to ensure both theoretical and empirical progress; and a strong global perspective to further enrich both theory and practice. Research limitations/implications This research has obvious limitations in terms of empirical scope and response selection. The questionnaire results should therefore be interpreted with care. Originality/value The value of this research lies in its reflective nature and the proposed trajectory of the project research domain.
