Abstract

Hyper-competition in the business environment has forced the companies to frequently innovate and manage projects as portfolios. This article presents a conceptual framework that highlights the role of innovation between organisational flexibility and project portfolio performance. Dimensions of organisational flexibility are outlined in the framework with the assumption that each dimension of flexibility interacts with the other variables. Links between the dimensions of flexibility and the performance of project portfolio are proposed, considering innovation as a mediator. Moreover, the moderating role of environmental dynamism, absorptive capability and project portfolio management quality is discussed. The study lays the groundwork for further empirical research.
