Description
As a result of globalization, overproduction, short life cycle of products, competition and uncertain domestic markets, businesses are extending their operations in international scale (Santoso & Loosemore, 2013; Grisham, 2011)
Projects are implemented with the goal to introduce changes and to deliver unique products based on customer requirements, (Grisham, 2011; Kerzner, 2009), however as a result of free movement and shared market (like European Union), innovations on technology (e-business, teleworking), outsourcing and new product development, projects are implemented within international scale and people and materials for international projects are now sourced globally (Grisham, 2011).
Furthermore, project managers are dealing with remote and virtual projects teams (Grisham, 2011) that are assembled from individuals that are representing different nation, religion, race and culture (Barczak, McDonough, & Athan, 2006).
In addition, project management is developed by western countries and un intentionally, western culture is imposed in to project management standards (Wang & Liu, 2007). Project management standards like, Project Management Professional (PMP), PRINCE2, (Projects In Controlled Environments), ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library), and APM (Association for Project Management) are western project management approaches and they requires use of project management technology but also project management values and beliefs, that are representing western values and beliefs.
