Summary:
In 2018, a survey showed that in high-paying countries, project managers in customer projects are on average better paid than their colleagues in internal projects. In low-paying countries, project managers in internal projects were better paid.

This new study, 4 years and a global pandemic later, was performed to find out if this observation is still true.

A survey confirms findings from earlier research that project business management is a big trend.

For the contractor organizations, projects for paying customers are a growth-oriented business model.

Summary:

Published:
August 2017 

Summary:
Conflicts in cross-corporate projects quickly become a nightmare for all the people and companies involved. Everyone’s expectations were geared toward great project and business success that they could be proud of. Instead, there is anger, frustration and, in the worst case, legal action. A survey established the most frequent causes of conflicts in project business.
