This book is a novel contribution to a field dominated by
conventional approaches to project management, it is about
narratives in megaprojects. Some of the questions examined in this
original new book include: * What are narratives? * Why are they
important in megaprojects? * How are they formed and used in
megaprojects? * How do promotors of and protestors against
megaprojects craft narratives to their advantage? * What strategies
can project managers employ to effectively use narratives in
megaprojects? Built from longitudinal research studies in
combination with internationally recognised teaching materials,
this book will provide readers with a theoretical understanding of
narratives and projects, as well as practical international case
studies, including HS2, the Eden Project, the Sochi Olympics,
Hyderabad and Chennai Metros, Westconnex and Tideway, to support
their understanding. The authors explain the different types of
narrative, how and why they are important in general and in
relation to a megaproject and its life-cycle, but also how to craft
narratives in different situations, and how they are changed and
maintained over a project life-cycle. Narratives in Megaprojects
doubles as a text supporting more advanced courses on project
management or aspects thereof, and as a reflection of the state of
the art in this particular perspective on megaprojects. It is
essential reading for all students and professionals in Project
Management, Construction, Infrastructure and Executive Leaders
involved in megaprojects and infrastructure delivery.
