THEORY OF TEMPORARY ORGANIZATIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROJECT RESEARCH
Abstract
The aim of this paper is to delineate the theory of temporary organizations proposed by Lundin and Soderholm in 1995. The work is based on narrative literature research oriented towards the analysis of logic and contexts of the development of this theory. In the first part the beginning and evolution of the theory were presented, next the terms and rules were delineated. In the last part the influence of this theory on the development of project management research was demonstrated. The popularity of the theory of temporary organizations, proved by numerous citations, could be regarded as the confirmation of the need of theoretical research, complementary to main, practice-oriented stream.
