Differentiate between project allegiance and corporate allegiance.

Correct Answer

verifed

verified

Answers will vary. Project allegiance means that both individuals and organizations are committed to the successful completion of projects. The firm's gain is the project outcome; the individual's gain is experience and shared success. Upon project completion, the project team breaks up as individuals move on to new projects. Under the old paradigm, corporate allegiance was paramount, not project allegiance. The needs of projects were overshadowed by corporate policies and procedures. Work groups were long term, and keeping the group together was often a more important goal than project completion. Please see the section "Occupational and Organizational Choice Decisions" for more information.

A) both individuals and organizations are committed to the successful completion of projects.
