AIT SEMINAR
MANAGING MEGAPROJECTS IN DEVELOPING
COUNTRIES
Megaprojects pose special problems for their management.
However, knowledge gained from megaprojects can also be applied to smaller
projects. The differences between large, mid-size and small projects lie in
their different degrees of complexity. Developing countries are faced with
additional problems with regard to megaprojects. A very large amount of
financial resources are required, project owners must have the knowledge for implementation,
necessary institutions must exist and capable design firms and contractors must
be attracted to the market.
The Qatar Integrated Railway project with a volume of 35
billion US dollars serves to explain specific aspects of megaprojects. Qatar is
on the one hand one of the richest nations worldwide so that financing is no
problem, on the other hand the country has no railway institutions or
knowledge. After this introductory example, a discussion and an understanding
of the term “complexity” are required to gain access to the problems of
megaprojects. One mind frame enables us to build a management model for
megaprojects. Such a model allows participating managers to focus attention and
to achieve a better outcome. The model contains the required engineering tasks,
management functions, meta-functions, basic functions and cultural influences.
Details will be presented by Prof. Christian Brockman,
University of Applied Sciences, Germany at a seminar organized by Asian
Institute of Technology in Vietnam: Managing Megaprojects in Developing
Countries.
