BARRIERS TO PROJECT RISK MANAGEMENT: AN INVESTIGATIVE FRAMEWORK (STUDENT PAPERS, GRADUATE)

摘要

Risk management (RM) helps project managers plan for and mitigate problems which arise from project uncertainty, thereby improving project performance across multiple measures such as cost, time, and quality. Despite widespread recognition of the RM concept and its theoretical benefits, many authors report that in practice those benefits are seldom achieved. This study explores risk literature to determine which factors may have a negative impact on RM and synthesizes the information into a comprehensive framework. This framework is designed for use as part of a case study methodology to investigate the existence of project-related or organizational barriers which might undermine the effectiveness of RM.
