“…Not only is this due to large turn-key projects typically involving a wide range of suppliers and sub-suppliers, but also the inclusion of consultants, joint venture partners, local/national governmental authorities and the general public (Williams, 2002). Each of these stakeholder bodies has different power and interest bases (Ackermann and Eden, 2011a) and has its own understanding of the objectives of the project and how they tie in with their own core organizational goals (Ackermann and Eden, 2011b). In addition, each of these stakeholders not only has different working cultures and languages (Engwall, 2003) but also different financial imperatives making effective collaborative working difficult.…”

Managers are faced with the need to effectively work with a multitude of parties and deal with a wealth of interlocking uncertainties. This paper describes a modelling process developed to assist managers facing such situations. The process helps managers to develop a comprehensive appreciation of risks and gain an understanding of the impact of the interactions between these risks through explicitly engaging a wide stakeholder base using a group support system and causal mapping process. Using a real case the paper describes the modelling process and outcomes along with its implications, before reflecting on the insights, limitations and future research.

“…Como todo estudio que se basa en la decisión de una autoridad, más aún si consideramos la variedad y riqueza del SIDH, tiene una limitante: la información corresponde a stakeholders (Ackermann y Eden, 2011). En este caso, al no haberse elegido una metodología cualitativa, no se puede responder de manera adecuada a la existencia de las razones personales en los operadores de justicia para elegir un caso o no; ese elemento debería basarse en la posibilidad de aprovechar otras herramientas investigativas que levanten esta información.…”

ResumenEl presente documento busca, a través de un estudio cualitativo-cuantitativo en torno al análisis de redes, examinar los nichos epistémicos existentes en la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, centrándose en el último periodo de sesiones, que de acuerdo a las teorías incrementales contaría con la jurisprudencia más avanzada. Se busca comprobar mediante la metodología de análisis de redes sociales, si la elección de las sentencias para dar soporte al ratio decidendi de la Corte Interamericana obedece a una elección racional o si es una decisión temática. El texto concluye explicando que, aunque hay elementos que demuestran una elección racional, no existe en la norma algo parecido a un hilo conductor de la jurisprudencia, fuera de la expansión tradicional de derechos; y que las conexiones posibles entre casos obedecen a elementos de racionalidad limitada. Palabras claveJurisprudencia / Análisis de Redes / Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos / Teoría de la Elección Racional. SummaryThe present document seeks to examine, through a qualitative-quantitative study based on the analysis of social networks, the epistemic niches in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, focusing on the last session period, which, according to incremental theories, has the most advanced jurisprudence. It seeks to verify, with the use of social network analysis, if the choice of sentences to support the decisions of the Inter-American Court obeys a rational choice or if it is a thematic decision. The text concludes by explaining that, although there are elements that show a rational decision, there does not appear to be a main theme to jurisprudence, beyond the traditional expansion of rights; and that the possible connections between the cases obey elements of limited rationality.

“…For instance, the government as a whole can rarely be managed but a particular department probably can be. A newspaper may generally be against a project but after breakdown it may become clear which specific staff is positive, neutral or negative and what is the newspaper's potential for interfering with the project's development (Ackermann and Eden, 2010).…”

Data management in project planning and control

Abstract:The paper focuses on the importance of an early engagement of stakeholders to manage the project along its entire life cycle. An increasing level of uncertainty and complexity tends to generate an increasing level of unpredictability, since it is difficult to anticipate all the possible dynamics, internal and external, affecting a complex project. Improving the forecasting/ planning process requires the usage of all the data available to the project team, in particular when facing a high level of uncertainty and complexity. In fact, stakeholders are the main sources of knowledge about the project and their early engagement may significantly increase the amount of knowledge, both explicit and tacit, available. As a consequence, project planning and control may be considered as a participatory process resulting from the interaction of the project team with all the stakeholders involved in the project.Keywords: data management; project planning and control; project uncertainty and complexity; forecasting process; knowledge sources; early engagement of project stakeholders.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Caron, F.
