Delivering complex engineering projects: Reexamining organizational control theory

TL;DR: In this article, a qualitative single-case study was conducted on a large infrastructure project in which a road tunnel was constructed in a highly demanding environment, involving multiple stakeholders in an alliance contract.

TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of the interplay between performance measurement, performance management, employee engagement and performance is recognized and a new theoretical framework based on the organisational control theory is introduced to provide a basis for future research.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic literature review explores the megaproject management literature and contributes by improving our understanding of the causes and cures of poor megap-roject performance.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a qualitative systematic review based on 65 peer-reviewed publications to identify 38 SNA metrics and concepts in nine complex project management knowledge areas and delineated the future studies and the potential applications of SNA to provide new insights into advancing the use of social network analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, buku ini mencakup lebih dari 50 studi kasus, memberikan perhatian untuk analisis kuantitatif, membahas lebah lengkap penggunaan desain metode campuran penelitian, and termasuk wawasan metodologi baru.

TL;DR: The authors examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research: theoretical knowledge is more valuable than practical knowledge, one cannot generalize from a single case, therefore, the single-case study cannot contribute to scientific development, the case study is most useful for generating hypotheses, whereas other methods are more suitable for hypotheses testing and theory building, case study contains a bias toward verification, and it is often difficult to summarize specific case studies.

TL;DR: The authors examines five common misunderstandings about case-study research and concludes with the Kuhnian insight that a scientific discipline without a large number of thoroughly executed case studies is a discipline without systematic production of exemplars.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe and compare a number of alternative generic strategies for the analysis of process data, looking at the consequences of these strategies for emerging theories, and evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the strategies in terms of their capacity to generate theory that is accurate, parsimonious, general, and useful.
