Abstract:
The field of project management continues to develop in response to changing emphases in the management community and the
demands of new project management application areas. This paper uncovers the trends of emphasis within the project management literature
over the period 1994-2003,by analysing articles in the International Journal of Project Management and the Project Management
Journal. Trends identified in this study are then compared to trends of emphasis identified in a variety of previous studies of changes to
the field. These results are then synthesised to provide a overall impression of how the field is changing.
