The delivery of large-scale technical systems is achieved through project organizing. The concept of systems integration, with its distinct focus on the systems that projects deliver, is theoretically important as projects become more complex and face significant uncertainty. We reframe systems integration in interorganizational projects as a flexible and adaptive process of making constituent parts of systems work together. This process involves boundary-spanning structures and activities to address emergent complexity and uncertainty (that are both technological and organizational in nature). We discuss implications and highlight areas for further research on projects.

大型技术系统的交付是通过项目组织来实现的。随着项目变得越来越复杂和面临巨大的不确定性，系统集成的概念在理论上非常重要，它特别关注项目交付的系统。我们重组组织间项目中的系统集成，这是使系统的组成部分协同工作的灵活且自适应的过程。这个过程涉及跨越边界的结构和活动，以解决出现的复杂性和不确定性（本质上既是技术上的又是组织上的）。我们讨论了影响并突出了需要进一步研究项目的领域。
