Abstract
This paper explores the organizational phenomena that we have labelled as ‘enduring projects.’ Enduring projects possess many of the features of temporary organizations but have very long lifetimes: typically, enduring projects last for decades. We use empirics gathered in a study of European megaprojects to characterise the ‘enduring project’ phenomenon and we speculate on the usefulness of theory employed in existing ‘temporary organizing’ research to understand enduring projects.
