摘要
Programme management (PM) is a novel and growing application of management that enables multiple, inter-related projects to be managed collectively in contrast to traditional project management where projects are managed individually and in isolation. PM importance is increasing, particularly in the public sector, because of government promotion of PM. However, its novelty means PM is an under-researched organisational form. UK utility companies operate in heavily regulated environments and lack direct market competition, however, they still need to work collaboratively with supply partners. The research explores the asset management programme of a utility company that partners with contractors who deliver projects to maintain existing, and establish new, asset configurations according to a five-year cycle agreed with the regulator. Social network analysis is used to investigate how collaboration is affected by factors such as organisational affiliations, project grouping and physical proximity of partners personnel. The results show that association with technical work content has a noteworthy influence on the individual positioning in the communication network.
