A person’s mental structures are found to be the root of a person’s actions, and are thus linked to the higher performance outcomes of the organisation. This paper focuses on increasing the understanding of the person’s perceived power in the early phases of the project sales process, examining persons’ perceived power in a single case in which a large international company is selling a project. The study contributes to the research on project business by illustrating a person’s perceived power within industrial project sales. We suggest that during the early phases of the project sales process, the persons involved in the sales process perceive their own power to be lesser than that of others, although their interest in the project is equal to that of the others. In addition, we claim that the exiguity of perceived power during project sales impacts the person’s decision making and communication. |
