Abstract

The results presented in the article include the effect of cyclical annual empirical research carried out in 2016- 2019. Its objective was to identify and characterize the operating conditions of project teams within supply chains. The article focuses on problems in creating, coordinating and integrating work within the appointed project teams. The research shows that one of them is the problem of heterarchy, i.e. the multiplicity and changeability of power centers, which in practice is associated with the simultaneous occurrence of many decision centers, which leads to dispersion and the instability of power. The aim of the article is to show the issues related to the phenomenon of heterarchy in project teams operating in supply chains with an indication of the conflicts that this phenomenon generates. The article has a theoretical and empirical character.

Keywords: Project team, project management, supply chain, management problems, heterarchy
