Abstract
Large scale projects encompassing various cross functional business units or teams have been characterized through their structural complexity. These complexities occur due to uncertainties which often is a direct consequence of vacillating resources streaming throughout the project team. [1] These resources vary from team to team and can be crucial for the success of the overall performance. These interlinkages of workflow between groups were conceptualized by Thompson (1967) [2] naming them “interdependencies”. Interdependencies were categorized according to the severity of their dependence to one another. The term can be defined as the extent to which groups/business units/teams are interdependent with one another and are essentially dependent upon the action of others for their success.
Interdependency Theory
Various perspectives, constructs, resource/task interdependency
Pooled, Sequential & Reciprocal Interdependecies According to J.D.Thompson
Pooled Interdependence
Sequential Interdependence
Reciprocal Interdependence
Coordinating Interdependence in Cross-Functional Project Teams
Standartization of Work Processes
Planning and Scheduling
Mutual Adjustments
Limitations of the Construct
Annotated Bibliography
References
Big Idea: describe the tool, concept or theory and explain its purpose. The section should reflect the current state of the art on the topic
Application: provide guidance on how to use the tool, concept or theory and when it is applicable
Limitations: critically reflect on the tool/concept/theory. When possible, substantiate your claims with literature
Annotated bibliography : Provide key references (3 10), where a reader can find additional information on the subject.
