This paper aims at understanding the current perceptions related to the Project Management (PM) practices in the automotive sector. To this end, a questionnaire is administrated to professionals and data are analyzed via the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results show that the ICT function is poorly oriented to PM, especially for professionals with longer experience. On the contrary, the logistics function might exploit the benefits of PM tools. PM is also considered a lever for increasing the firm's reputation. This work demonstrates that PM is a challenge for future developments of organizations and it shows its importance in the automotive industry that involves increasingly complex projects.

Abstract

This paper aims at understanding the current perceptions related to the Project Management (PM) practices in the automotive sector. To this end, a questionnaire is administrated to professionals and data are analyzed via the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results show that the ICT function is poorly oriented to PM, especially for professionals with longer experience. On the contrary, the logistics function might exploit the benefits of PM tools. PM is also considered a lever for increasing the firm's reputation. This work demonstrates that PM is a challenge for future developments of organizations and it shows its importance in the automotive industry that involves increasingly complex projects.
