General Information

Peerasit’s Ph.D. research centered on the development of a decision support model for assigning multiple concurrent projects to project managers. Different from the models and criteria in the literature, his model and criteria emphasize the performance of the organization, projects, and project managers in project assignments. This emphasis enhances a significant contribution of the model and criteria to both theory and practice. 

 

Peerasit’s current research interests include project management office, project portfolio management and multiple project management, strategic and value-focused project management, and project management standardization. Peerasit has been engaged in several research projects, e.g. Building a strategic system approach to NASA’s project and program management (a grant from the Center for Program/Project Management Research, NASA, 2004-2005). His works have been published in IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, Journal of High Technology Management Research, International Journal of Project Management, and Engineering Management Journal.  Peerasit is a recipient of the 2007 Best Paper Award from IEEE Engineering Management Society and 2008 Bright Idea Award in Project Management from The Stillman School of Business at Seton Hall University and the NJPRO Foundation, the public policy reserach affiliate of the New Jersey Business and Industry Association (NJBIA).
