Megaproject Organization and Performance: The Myth and Political
Reality delves into the complex world of organizing megaprojects
and investigates the extent to which the performance of these
projects could be traced back to their organizational structure.
Through multiple case study research, including the London Olympic
Park and Heathrow Airport Terminal 2, the authors show how
megaprojects are unique in how they are organized. They explore
core-periphery relationships between promotors who control
strategic choices, and suppliers, the contracted experts who
provide the actual resources to get the project done. The
implications of these structural–performance relationships within
a robust economy are then compared with railroad and highway
development projects in the developing economies of Nigeria,
Uganda, and India. This in-depth study brings a complementary
perspective to megaproject literature and enables us to reconcile
conflicting explanations for the regularity with which megaprojects
miss performance targets. With pluralism at the core of the
megaproject’s organizational structure, the authors argue that
megaprojects work best when accountability is shared and everyone
has a stake in the final outcome.
