...Mehmet Nurettin Uğural; Seyedarash Aghili Purpose Megaprojects require robust mechanisms for managing complex stakeholder relationships, particularly in unpredictable environments where traditional models are inadequate. In response to these challenges, this paper critically examines...

...Yousaf Ali; Muhammad Sabir; Muhammad Danish; Muhammad Junaid Riaz Purpose This study investigates the delay in the Neelum Jhelum Hydropower Plant, an energy megaproject (MP) in Pakistan. The study aims to investigate how inconsistencies in government energy policies and a focus on short-term...

...Aritra Halder Purpose This study examines how cross-functional integration (CFI) and megaproject citizenship behavior (MCB) can resolve stakeholder management-related issues (SMI) in construction megaprojects. It also explores the mediating role of MCB in the relationship between CFI and SMI...

...Yajiao Chen; Qinghua He; Xiaoyan Chen; Yifei Luo Purpose The heightened complexity of the engineering environment has spawned tremendous investment in megaproject technological innovations. Investigating the intricate evolutionary laws within the megaproject technological innovation collaborative...

...Haiwen Li; Shidan Wang; Junying Liu; Xinya Guan Purpose Technological innovation in megaprojects represents a form of innovation that transcends enterprise boundaries and relies on close collaboration among innovators. The relationship between project owners and contractors is crucial...

...Shitao Jin Purpose This study aims to comprehensively review and analyze research topics and trends in the field of megaprojects by integrating bibliometric analysis with latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) topic modeling techniques. The objective is to explore the development dynamics and key...

...Xingjie Mao; Binchao Deng; Xianbo Zhao; Xindong Lv Purpose Megaprojects contribute greatly to China’s socio-economic development. However, the diverse stakeholders of megaprojects tend to be prone to conflict and plunge the project into lower performance than expected. This study aims...

...Xiaoyan Chen; Yan Liu; Giorgio Locatelli; Qinghua He; Xinyue Zhang Purpose Megaprojects provide an ideal context for exploring the dynamic characteristics of stakeholders within a collaborative innovation system. This research aims to examine the changes in stakeholder salience and functional...

...Yuying Wang; Guohua Zhou Purpose The suppliers of experimental resources required in megaprojects are driven by short-term interests, presuming that participation in the digital platform would only increase their inputs and fail to rapidly expand their revenue, resulting in their insufficient...

...Huijun Tu; Shitao Jin Purpose Due to the complexity and diversity of megaprojects, the architectural programming process often involves multiple stakeholders, making decision-making difficult and susceptible to subjective factors. This study aims to propose an architectural programming methodology...

...Lan Luo; Yuyang Liu; Yue Yang; Jianxun Xie; Guangdong Wu Purpose This study aims to explore the interaction of “contractual governance – relational governance – governmental governance” mechanisms and proposes hypotheses about the effects of megaproject governance on governance performance from...

...Lin-lin Xie; Yifei Luo; Lei Hou; Jianqiang Yu Purpose Megaproject knowledge innovation (MKI) is perceived as a critical strategy for engineering value co-creation and industrial chain upgrading. Ascertaining the impact mechanism of MKI is a crucial initial step towards improving management...

... were limited to megaprojects other than metro rail projects. Efforts to quantitatively study and analyze the impact of project complexity on metro rail projects are left unattended. The developed PCI model and its validation contribute to the field by providing a definite method to measure and manage...

...Ozan Okudan; Murat Cevikbas; Zeynep Işık Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose a decision support framework that can be used by decision-makers to identify the most convenient disruption analysis (DA) methods for megaprojects and their stakeholders. Design/methodology/approach...

...Xin Xia; Pengcheng Xiang Purpose Managers of megaprojects face social risk management challenges throughout the various design, construction, and operation stages, owing to the various conflicts of interest among stakeholders, public skepticism, and opposition. However, most existing studies have...

...Dedong Wang; Xiaoru Zhao; Kangning Zhang Purpose The increasingly uncertain and unstable factors in the internal and external environments of megaprojects lead to more potential crises and challenges, hence increasing the importance of improving organizational resilience. This study aimed...

...Jin Xue; Geoffrey Qiping Shen; Xiaomei Deng; Adedayo Johnson Ogungbile; Xiaoling Chu Purpose Relationship management evolves with dynamic and complex environments of megaprojects. However, studies on the longitudinal measurement of relationship management performance for each stakeholder...

... rights only Complexity Construction project management Megaprojects Principal construction contracting Project management office Project complexity is defined as an attribute that makes a project hard to understand, foresee and control (Vidal et al., 2011). Today's construction...

...Jiawei Liu; Guanghong Ma Purpose The high uncertainty of technological innovation in megaprojects brings great challenges to the R&D institution and also acts as a trigger for moral hazard. The incentive and supervision are effective means to improve the performance of innovation. The purpose...

... practices and the required conformance to industry standards. The purpose of this paper is to propose an integrative “holonic” methodology for the management of megaprojects in the construction industry, which incorporates both adaptability and conformance to standards, and to illustrate the associated...
