The networking in ECTS Project Management

The research was addressed to understand and deepen the networking implications in project management particularly as it concerns the tools of communications, the frequency of contacts and the problems in knowledge transfer among the different typologies of entities involved in projects. To this purpose the research focused on five projects that belong to different categories as: Tempus, Interreg and Seventh European Framework, in which Bologna University applied as Grant Holder in 2007. In these projects the research has the purpose to verify the hypothesis that the distinction between clustering and networking approach before explained is linked to the involved countries based on transition or advanced economies. It means that transition countries are addressed to utilize clustering while advanced economies networking approach.
