    The Project Management Journal invites authors to submit papers for a special issue focusing on an investigation of megaprojects as symbols. Flyvbjerg identifies four causes or “sublimes” that seduce decision makers to undertake megaprojects. We would like authors to submit papers about megaprojects that can be considered as symbols in these four sublimes—political, technological, economical, and aesthetic. We also want authors to take an organizational theory perspective in their papers.
