Abstract
The research presented in this document is predominantly addressed via eight main
journal publications and further supported by fifteen conference proceedings, other
industrial projects and research grants. The research rests on two interlinked main
pillars within the overall scientific discipline of Operations Management namely
Supply Chain Management and Project Management. It focuses on "softer"
contemporary themes where the overall contribution falls within the thematic area of
collaboration, integration and development. The contribution is realized via research
in numerous "softer" contemporary themes such as leadership styles, organizational
structures and cultures, cooperation, knowledge management, usage of new
technologies and strategy, all within the two aforementioned pillars. Application
ranges from private small medium enterprises to larger organizations and to the public
sector. In that respect my research addresses the needs of practitioners while
providing a clear contribution to the relevant body of knowledge.
Methodologically, the work presented here utilizes the grounded theory approach.
Arguably, large sample, positivistic driven, survey methodologies are certainly very
useful in providing an understanding of "how much" and "how many" as well as
drawing inferences to a larger population. Nevertheless, they cannot provide the
information required regarding "how" or "why" events occur which relate directly to
most of the work presented in this document. Consequently, a case-based
methodology has been employed directly or indirectly in all papers addressed here. In
all instances the main criterion used to select cases as part of the data collection
process was based on theoretical relevance.
