Risk management in Megaproject : a lesson from scottish parliamnet building project

<p>There are quite a number of researches on the risk management review in</p><p>public projects especially so called megaprojects, public project with high</p><p>investment. Such effort, however, usually tends to offer the lessons in certain</p><p>condition rather than generalize to others. Our research aims to bridge the</p><p>gap by exploring the relation between the public feature of Megaproject and</p><p>its risk management policy option. Under the project risk management</p><p>framework, the case study of Scottish Parliament Building project focuses</p><p>on the stakeholder intervenes during the whole process.</p><p>In the analysis, the risks are first outlined according to the report ex post,</p><p>then we go back to examine the risk assessment and risk control policy</p><p>during the project to identify the reasons leading to the deviation. The</p><p>finding demonstrates the politics intervene has generated high transaction</p><p>cost for project manager to implement risk reduction and mitigation policy,</p><p>and the optimum way under such condition to accept or avoid the risks at all,</p><p>but not handle them. Accordingly, the thesis suggests that the appropriate</p><p>risk transfer and contingency allowance will be the key success factors in the</p><p>megaproject.</p>
