ABSTRACT

Megaprojects are often delivered over budget and late and the literature discusses the reasons at length. Nevertheless, some megaprojects are delivered on time and budget. The research investigated the reasons for this dichotomy. The research developed an original performance prediction method for megaprojects investigating the relationships between project characteristics and success. This method identifies key success factors and is crucial for the stakeholders involved in planning and delivering megaprojects.

The research process is related to a novel and rigorous method based on deductive cross-case analysis. Through a benchmarking analysis, the method takes similarly constructed cases and uses a structured process to determine “cross-case” patterns. Regarding the results, my approach established the characteristics associated with good and poor megaproject performance. It also provides a useful mechanism for policy-makers to ‘benchmark’ their megaprojects against a portfolio. Ultimately, the results become guidance for policy-makers making critical and expensive decisions surrounding the design and delivery of megaprojects.
