Management of complex underground construction projects

摘要

The complexity of underground projects confronts many project clients with serious manageability problems. This complexity is the basis for this article, which analyzes the considerations that should be made when setting up a project organization in order to keep the process of implementation manageable. Project organization is analyzed closely, with a focus on the interface between project managers and functional managers and the information asymmetry between them. Some real-life examples will show that dealing with uncertainty and thereby increasing manageability are seldom accomplished by increasing available information, but rather by reconsidering the project organization.
