“The Project Management Institute is the world's largest community for project management professionals.,” says Head of the Department of Ledership and Organizational Behaviour Thorvald Hærem.
"Wang's research can contribute to changing how we understand governance within project management, paving the way for more sustainable collaborations, with important implications for how megaprojects are governed,” Hærem continues.
The project entitled “Governing for ESG performance in megaprojects: An inter-organizational perspective” aims to develop a framework governing project ESG performance. It will run until the end of 2025. Wang will collaborate closely with Ralf Müller and Anne Live Vaagaasar from BI, Ole Jonny Klakegg from NTNU Norwegian University of Science and technology, and Yongijan Ke from Unviversity of Technology Sydney.
