                                  Managing projects in decentralised organisations is challenging. IHO is a medium-sized international humanitarian organisation. To improve fleet management in IHO, the goal is to implement vehicle tracking technology. A successful pilot project is followed by a failed rollout. The case examines the managerial and organisational issues affecting the project’s performance.

                                      In 2006, the Lebanese guerrilla group Hezbollah captured two Israeli soldiers patrolling the Lebanese-Israeli border. Israel responded with large-scale bombing of Lebanon’s major bridges, cities, main airports, sea port and all commercial borders. The fighting resulted in approximately one million internally displaced people, 30,000 homes destroyed, over 1,000 dead, and around 5,000 injured.
