Management komplexer internationaler Projekte: Netzstrukturen, Governance und Handlungsempfehlungen

Complex international projects face various risks and challenges. Technical, economic and social complexities are constant companions of this form of doing business. Management of intra- and interorganizational network processes are thus a key competence for success.This dissertation analyzes structures and socio-economics performance in complex projects. The initial research hypothesis follows the logic that high socio economic complexity in international projects requires a strong integration of network governance in such projects in order to perform successfully. Management recommendations are generated by means of interviews, report analysis and quantitative analysis through organizational network analysis.Results show that a network and thus stakeholder oriented project management is necessary in order to improve and handle socio-economic complexity in projects. The ability of an organization to develop networks in short time, to form and to manage them becomes thus an important form of social capital.
