The thesis points out all possible risks that are subsequently secured in a project of firming unpaved roads in cadastral unit Říčky. The theoretical part summerizes the details of the project, risks evident especially during the pre-insvestigation phase of the construction project and ways of solving the possible risks. The practical part deals with the identification of the particular project, includes listing of the risks and concludes with their prevention.

The aim of the thesis is to create a management plan of a specific development project and define the potential risks that may arise in the implementation phase from the perspective of the development company. The thesis also deals with the basic characteristic of project management, principles and practices that are used in practice both in the preparation and management of a construction project and it is also mapping the entire process of planning a development project.

This diploma thesis deals with a problem of risk management of investment projects in building industry. The first part makes us familiar with basic terms and classification of risks. We continue with the importance and the content of risk management in investment projects. This part includes detailed description of technique of managing risks and describes chosen applied methods in this thesis. In the second part the real investment project´s risk management is designed following the information from the first part. The aim of this real project is building up an administrative building in Ostrava. The important data and the identification of danger was work out for elaborated risk management document. The identified risk was analysed and extended with suggestion of its controlling.

This thesis deals with economic evaluation case study of Ekofarm construction using applications Crystal Ball and Pertmaster Risk Project. The thesis represents the fundamental characteristics of the investment project and methods of its evaluation. There are introduced basic features of both applications on probabilistic risk analysis performed by simulation method Latin Hypercube Sampling. The case study is described in detail including breeding system and method of financing. This is linked to the calculation of economic fundamentals and creation of project cash flow. The result is probabilistic analysis which is output from tested software tools, and its evaluation.

Complex projects often fail even when formal project management systems are in place. Project management processes and methodologies are well defined and described in academic and business literature. There is however less published research on the socio-cultural factors that are critical for project success. This study investigated whether project stakeholders view communication as one of the critical success factors for project success. Critical project success factors were identified from a literature study and ranked by 34 project stakeholders. The data was analysed using the Instant Priorities method and Analytical Hierarchical Process. A workshop on the use of communication within projects was observed. The results were translated into a project success factor model that explains the importance of communication in project success. Furthermore, a serious games based training tool is proposed. The aim of the training will be for participants to understand the communication preferences of themselves and the people they interact with in large projects. The proposed tool will require the participant to map typical stakeholder behavioural preferences. The well-known Marston DISC behavioural model is used as basis for understanding the behavioural preferences of different stakeholder groups. This research project supports the view that communication training across stakeholder groups should be used as a project risk mitigation tool. An increased understanding of the communication preferences of project stakeholders has the potential to shape a project culture that will stimulate teamwork combined with high levels of personal motivation as well as have the capacity to quickly identify and address project risks. / MSc (Computer Science), North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2014

A composição de um portfolio de projetos é realizada de acordo com um conjunto de critérios de seleção e avaliação de projetos, que permite identificar quais projetos trazem maior valor, benefícios e alinhamento com as estratégias definidas pela organização, para um determinado horizonte de tempo. O grau de exposição a riscos do portfolio de projetos é um dos critérios mais importantes a ser considerado na composição e no balanceamento do portfolio, uma vez que indica a magnitude dos desvios a que o portfolio está sujeito em relação ao atendimento de seus objetivos. Este trabalho apresenta um procedimento para a avaliação do grau de exposição a riscos do portfolio de projetos, que parte dos riscos de cada projeto, e considera seus inter-relacionamentos, bem como outros riscos inerentes ao portfolio como um todo. O procedimento abrange a identificação, análise e tratamento dos riscos do portfolio e a determinação do grau de exposição a riscos no atendimento de cada objetivo e do portfolio com um todo. Através de um estudo de caso, realizado numa empresa multinacional do setor de máquinas e equipamentos, o procedimento foi testado num portfolio composto por nove dos maiores projetos de sua maior unidade de negócio. Foi possível determinar o grau de exposição a riscos do portfolio de projetos frente aos objetivos estratégicos a que se propunha atender valores determinados de margem bruta média e faturamento para o ano fiscal corrente. O estudo de caso permitiu validar a aplicabilidade do procedimento. A identificação dos riscos em comum, das interdependências e de outros riscos abrangentes permitiu identificar causas comuns e proliferações entre os riscos dos projetos e, principalmente, racionalizar recursos no tratamento dos riscos. / When building a project portfolio, evaluation and selection criteria are used to recognize which projects bring greater value, benefits and alignment with the organization strategies defined for a given period of time. One of the most relevant criteria in project portfolio composition and balancing is the risk exposure, as it indicates the magnitude of slippages to which the organization objectives are susceptible. This work presents a procedure for the evaluation of the overall project portfolio risk exposure, considering the risks of each project, the inter-relationships among them, and also other risks inherent to the portfolio as a whole. The procedure encloses portfolio risks identification, analysis and treatment and the assessment of the risk exposure in the attendance of each objective as well as for the complete portfolio. Through a case study, carried through in a world class multinational company of the capital goods sector, the risk analysis procedure has been tested in a portfolio encompassing nine major projects from its main business unit. It has been possible to define the risk exposure related to the strategic objectives this portfolio should fulfill average gross margin and revenues for the current fiscal year. The case study has allowed validating the applicability of the proposed procedure. The identification of common risks, interdependences and other overall portfolio risks has also allowed to recognize common causes, proliferation among projects and, mainly, to rationalize resources in treating these risks.

在社會、經濟、技術及政治快速變遷下，專案的管理方式由於具有彈性及可變性，因此較能因應複雜的外在環境。而在未來越來越複雜的外在環境變化中，專案管理者必須學習處理更廣闊的領域，以導引專案至成功的境界(Tuman, 1986)。 　　而由於專案面臨內在與外在的不確定性及風險，可能不利於專案目標的達成，因此有必要針對專案可能面臨的不利事件加以評估與分析，以瞭解專案風險的衝擊來源，並決定對專案風險的因應方式，以確保專案目標能夠確實達成。本研究嘗試以整體的觀點，涵蓋對專案外在環境特性與內在因應能力的討論，探討如何建立專案風險的管理程序及因應機制，以確保專案風險的發生可能減低，或一旦風險的確發生，風險對於專案所衝擊的不利後果能夠最小。 　　因此本研究選取新產品發展專案為研究對象，以個案訪談法進行，共訪問七個新產品發展專案後，得出研究結果與命題如下： 　　一、在專案風險與環境特性方面 　　命題一　專案風險與環境特性有關，環境特性包括豐富性、集中性與變動性。 　　命題1-1　專案風險與環境豐富性有關。 　　命題1-2　專案風險與環境集中性有關。 　　命題1-3　專案風險與環境變動性有關。 　　二、在專案風險與因應能力方面 　　命題二　專案風險因應能力可降低專案風險；因應能力包括資源取得與調配能力及資訊蒐集與處理能力。 　　命題2-1　專案的資源取得及調配能力可降低專案風險。 　　命題2-2　專案的資訊取得與處理能力可降低專案風險。 　　三、在專案風險因應策略方面 　　根據風險因應時點的不同，專案風險可分事先因應的預應策略，以及事後反應的反應策略。本研究提出預應風險策略包括聯結風險源、降低風險源依賴、增強自身因應能力、配置風險承擔與迴避風險源五種。 　　命題三　專案風險預應策略可降低專案風險。 　　命題3-1　風險因應策略依照專案風險承擔程度的不同，可分為保留型、配置型與迴避型。 　　四、專案風險、因應能力與因應策略關係 　　命題四　專案風險因應策略與專案風險型態有關。專案風險型態可依因應能力高低與風險高低分為四種型態，第一型風險為風險高、因應能力高者，傾向採取預應保留型。第二型風險為風險高、因應能力低者，傾向採取預應配置型或預應迴避型。第三型風險為風險低、因應能力高者，傾向採取反應型策略。第四型風險為風險低、因應能力低者，因應策略的採取須視狀況而定。 　　此外，本研究分別研究並提出專案風險、專案風險管理、專案風險環境特性、專案風險因應能力、專案風險因應策略與因應型態的概念與意義，並釐清環境特性、因應能力與因應策略的關係，以及嘗試建立整合性的風險管理程序。最後依據本研究的專案風險管理程序，針對需求面、通路面、競爭面、技術面、供應面、外包面、資金面、員工面、團隊面九個風險環境構面提出環境特性分析、因應能力分析及因應策略建議。
