Abstract: Collaboration networks are a compilation of dynamic relationships among multiple stakeholders within and across organizations. A megaproject may involve hundreds of organizations that may be competing for a new subproject ...

Abstract: With architecture, engineering, and construction projects tending to be larger and more complex, their participating organizations are becoming more diversified and internationalized. This is particularly true for megaprojects ...

Abstract: Integrating individual healthcare infrastructures into a coordinated network is crucial for improving emergency response capabilities within healthcare systems. During disasters or other disruptive events, this network can ...

Abstract: The creep strength of welded joints in high Cr steels decreases due to the formation of Type IV creep damage in heat-affected zones (HAZs) during long-term use at high temperatures. This paper ...

Abstract: Megaprojects carry high risks and many uncertainties, are difficult to coordinate, and involve many stakeholders. Traditional project management concepts and strategies have been proven to be less-than-efficient for modern ...

Abstract: Healthcare facilities management (HFM) plays an important role in delivering healthcare services. However, compared with core activities in hospitals (i.e., quality and safety of medical treatment and clinical care), ...

Abstract: Megaprojects exert substantial influence on economics, society, and the environment on a global scale. Current theory-building research in the megaproject field mainly focuses on three perspectives—the socioeconomic system, ...

Abstract: Current literature on relationship management has focused on formal mechanisms such as contracts but has neglected the inter-organizational behavior that determines the effective adoption of relational mechanisms in the ...

Abstract: Early studies of project planning endorsed a task-centric method, such as the program evaluation and review technique (PERT), that assigns relationships and tasks based upon the logical sequences of construction. This ...
