Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Sustainability is not a new concept, and there exist various definitions of this notion. This notion is often combined with sustainability principles, also proposed in the literature in various forms. Sustainability in project management will be understood in this Special Issue as the integration of a set of sustainability principles into project management processes and procedures. The selected set of sustainability principles should have one important feature: a project can be described as being fully sustainable if and only if all the principles belonging to this set are respected.
The papers submitted to the Special Issue should choose a definition of sustainability and a set of sustainability principles and then provide original proposals for how to integrate these principles into project management processes, procedures, and methods. Specific proposals will be preferred over general ones: detailed solution proposals are expected, possibly limited to selected project types or project management approaches or frameworks. Each proposed solution should be proven to contribute to the fulfilment of the selected sustainability principles.
Prof. Dr. Dorota Kuchta
