in Cooperation with George
Overview1. Research Question2. Methodology3. Results4. Answers to Research Questions
Starting Point1. RQ: Why do Megaprojects perform like they do?
2. RQ: What can we do to make them perform better?
1. Research Question
Approach for Working Plan
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.
• Eisenhard’s Multi Case Study Process: 8 Steps
already completed
Getting started
Selecting Cases
Crafting Instruments and Protocols
Entering the field
Analysing data
Shaping Hypothesis
Enfolding Literature
Reaching Closure
to be done in future
Group Work
Analysing data• Within-case analysis• Cross-case pattern search using divergent
techniques
Shaping Hypothesis• Iterative tabulation for each construct• Replication logic across cases• Search evidence for “why” behind
relationships

Initial thoughts on dimensions of performance
Get familiar with cases (1-2 per person)
Test, expand, reduce number of themes/patterns by analysing
more cases
Identify common themes/patterns
• Definition of performance as factors influencing: a) goals, b) outcomes and c) outputs (time, cost, quality)
• ~ 25% of cases covered
• Check themes/patterns across the first sample
• Saturation• Hypothesis

Basic Model which Rodney refers to:
Technical perspective on project delivery:
(Time, Cost, Quality)
Is the project/product used in the way it was developed
for
Is the origin purpose reached by/through the
project?
