Readers will appreciate that in practice, too often relevant complexity and uncertainty factors are either ignored or overlooked resulting in epic project failures. The author discusses a variety of methodologies and a decision-tree-type framework to determine why, when and how particular methodologies should be applied to ensure project success. These include nonlinear Monte Carlo techniques, a dynamic adaptive methodology to adapt to external environment changes, game theory for devising robust decision-making criteria, systems dynamics and cost escalation modelling, as well as risk-based & economic-based alternatives selection methodologies. This book will be an eye-opener for many PRM practitioners, helping to increase their chances of project success by properly handlinginescapable project-complexity and deep-uncertainty implications in specific contexts. Integrates project risk management (PRM), complexity theory, and decision-making under deep uncertainty (DMDU); Provides conceptual overview of PRM, project complexity and DMDU methodologies, their interdependencies and integration; Enables robust, risk-based decision-making for contingency development and alternatives selection, rooted in game theory.PPN: PPN: 1891055046Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SEB | ZDB-2-BUM | ZDB-2-SXBM
