Abstract

Intuition and reflexivity are psychological variables which have recently found a way into management theories. In the context of increased acceptance of project management, it is necessary to understand the influence of technological uncertainty and technical complexity on intuition and reflexivity and their influence on project planning. An empirical model is proposed linking these variables. The study is descriptive and explanatory in nature. The data was collected from project managers of software development projects in South India. The study used questionnaire survey method. Study results showed that intuition and reflexivity can improve planning when there are technological uncertainty and technical complexity.
