Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to look at human interdependence and its significance in project management.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper focuses solely on human interaction in the context of a short-term project consisting of preparing a small “international” fair in Gatineau, Québec (Canada). For this purpose, an established questionnaire was used which aimed to evaluate the predator-prey dynamic between team members (as described by Mesly in a recent paper).

Findings

Human interdependence indeed plays a key role in the functioning of short-lived projects (and, this paper assumes, of long-term projects as well).

Originality/value

The paper places emphasis on considering the human power-game factor (predator-prey) more strongly in future project endeavors.
