“…Whilst project failures can and do result in lost share prices, or football matches, their effects can also include lost public funds, safety, homes, communities, health, and even life itself. While the "projectificaiton of society" (Lundin and Soderholm, 1998), and the proliferation of project management (PM), has been subject to mounting critical interrogation (Bresnen, 2007;Cicmil et al 2009;Clegg and Courpasson, 2004;Hodgson, 2002;Hodgson and Cicmil, 2006;2007a;2007b;Packendorff, 2006, 2007;Styhre, 2006;Sage et al, 2010a), as reviews by both Söderlund (2011) and Turner et al, (2013) indicate, the phenomena of "project failure" (and "success") continues to be understood largely from within a narrowly functionalist-positive/managerial perspective (for some exceptions see Fincham, 2002;Lindahl and Rehn, 2007;Sage et al, 2013).…”
