“…A programme of this magnitude creates a level of complexity that is difficult to evaluate using classical quantitative research methods. Thus, the study patterned itself after the methodology proposed by Gransberg, Shane, Strong, and del Puerto (2013) for complex projects. Furthermore, it is acceptable to use a single case study as a basis for scientific generalization as the purpose is to generalize the found procedures and behaviour (yin, 2003).…”

a Stronger christchurch Infrastructure rebuild team, christchurch, new Zealand; b construction Management Programme, department of civil and natural resources engineering, university of canterbury, christchurch, new Zealand ABSTRACT Cities have waste water networks that are ageing and offer little or no resilience to disasters. Parts of these networks will have been designed and constructed in accordance with design guidelines that are long since outdated. After a disaster, the damage to a wastewater network will vary throughout a city, partly depending on the prior state or level of service (LoS) of the assets. Repairs will be done to bring assets back to the same LoS or remaining asset life as before the disaster according to design guidelines. Local asset owners must therefore know the state of their assets prior to disasters so that they can prove what damage is caused by the disaster, especially because there are usually different organizations responsible for repair and for later maintenance expenditures. A way to affect the level of repair is by changing design guidelines. It is recommended that asset owners maintain up-to-date asset registers and anticipate disasters by preparing design guidelines ready for emergency situations.

“…These complexities have led organizations to often fail to complete projects within a set time frame, approved by the budget, and in accordance with the quality required. In other words, projects in recent years have often failed or have poor performance in achieving their goals (Giezen et al, 2015;Gransberg et al, 2012;He et al, 2015). Under such circumstances, the traditional project management practices that have been used up so far are no longer able to control the emerging complexity of the projects (Li et al, 2015).…”

A structural equation modeling approach to examine the relationship between complexity factors of a project and the merits of project manager Nowadays, projects have become so widespread in the world that individuals and organizations are always involved in a variety of them. Recent advances in technology and fundamental changes in most scientific disciplines have had an essential impact on projects, and have made the nature and environmental conditions governing them to become more complex than before. With increasing complexity, the amount of information needed for project management increases. In general, the increasing complexity of projects is a growing source of project risks. It has been recognized that complexity affects the performance of a project and will be effective in its success. In this context, the traditional principles and practices of project management are no longer able to control the emerging complexity of projects. In addition, one of the key factors for the success of the projects is the appropriateness of the project manager's assignment. Many studies have been carried out in identifying the suitability criteria of the project manager and the methods of selecting the project manager. In most of these studies, the amount and type of complexity of the project are mentioned as factors influencing the design of an appropriate project manager. However, there has not yet been a specific approach for selecting the project manager with regard to the complexity of the project. Therefore, in this research, we try to investigate the relationship between the complexity of the project and the merits of the project manager by applying a structural equation modeling approach.

“…In this study, we identified the storyworlds occurring in the macro environment external to the IDS projects, which included global, regional, sectoral and organizational issues. There are various approaches to defining the dimensions (Baccarini 1996;Gransberg et al 2013;Hass 2009a;Remington & Pollack 2007;Williams 2002) developed to identify the nature, or source, of the complexity (Remington et al 2009). This model assists CPMs to diagnose the complexity profile of a project, and in line with this, what level of project leadership (competencies) is needed, and therefore what problem-solving approaches are required, to manage those specific dimensions (Hass 2009a).…”
