• New Stakeholder Theory to rescue the megaproject puzzle …

  “Cracking the megaproject puzzle: A stakeholder perspective?” advocates the perspective ” new stakeholder theory ” to make sense of empirical regularities in megaprojects, so make sense of delays, cost growth, and scope creep. It is suggested that empirical regularities are not isomorphic with bad management and/or dishonesty, but rather an outcome of the ‘rules of the game’.…
