Emergent Projects in Small Regional Municipalities: What is the Role of Project Management in Supporting Regional Economic Development through Projects?

Supervisor

Professor Kerry Brown

Abstract

This research project focuses on the role of Project Management and Project Managers in supporting projects that help small regional municipalities achieve regional economic development. The study examines how projects may emerge in regional and remote communities that may not have easy access to the natural, financial and human resources to support large scale projects to kick start economic development or diversification strategies. The role of project management is often underrated or ignored in initiating, implementing, or advancing strategic initiatives at the municipal level in regions. The research project also offers insights and understanding of the additional or new skills and capabilities of project managers in managing regional projects based in remote or less resource-endowed regions along with the public policy instruments available to connect local government aspiration to practical commercial and/or social enterprise action in the context of project management.
