Megaprojects and Risk

An Anatomy of Ambition

By: Bent Flyvbjerg,Nils Bruzelius,Werner Rothengatter

Megaprojects and Risk provides the first detailed examination of the phenomenon of megaprojects. It is a fascinating account of how the promoters of multi-billion dollar megaprojects systematically and self-servingly misinform parliaments, the public and the media in order to get projects approved and built. It shows, in unusual depth, how the formula for approval is an unhealthy cocktail of underestimated costs, overestimated revenues, undervalued environmental impacts and overvalued economic development effects. This results in projects that are extremely risky, but where the risk is concealed from MPs, taxpayers and investors. The authors not only explore the problems but also suggest practical solutions drawing on theory, experience and hard, scientific evidence from the several hundred projects in twenty nations and five continents that illustrate the book. Accessibly written, it will be the standard reference for students, scholars, planners, economists, auditors, politicians and interested citizens for many years to come.

Project Risk and Opportunity Management

The Owner's Perspective

By: Agnar Johansen,Nils O. E. Olsson,George Jergeas,Asbjørn Rolstadås

Effective risk and opportunity management is key to the successful delivery of any major engineering and construction project. This book looks at how all those involved can manage risk and capitalise on the opportunities that uncertainty present. The authors of this book highlight that uncertainties should be managed rather than avoided. This book will look at simple projects with a small team, to megaprojects where some hundreds of people are involved, and the consequences of delays or unforeseen costs. However, while the obvious risks can be planned for, the authors argue that it is often the opportunities in these situations that can have unexploited potential. This book is about opportunity management seen from the owner’s perspective. It will be an invaluable resource for those studying Engineering both undergraduate and postgraduate and set out ways in which projects should be managed from planning to completion. This book is also a great tool for those working in project management and the construction industry. While there are many books that demonstrate effective construction management, this book is the first of its kind to emphasise that there is opportunity in uncertainty, and possibility in the unexpected.

"Near Friendly Or Neutral Shores"

The Deployment of the Fleet Ballistic Missile Submarines and U.S. Policy Towards Scandinavia, 1957-1963

By: Nils Bruzelius

Publikationen beskriver norske og især svenske strategiske relationer til USA på det maritime område i årene omkring 1960. Publikationens tese er, at USAs flåde skulle have valgt affyringspositioner for sin første generation af polarismissil bevæbnede ubåde langs Bohusläns kyst. Forfatteren argumenterer for sin påstand ved at tage udgangspunkt i de tekniske begrænsninger i den første generation af polarismissiler samt datidens ubådes begrænsede muligheder for nøjagtig navigation i forhold til i dag. Forfatteren argumenterer for, at dette skulle have været styrende for USAs bilaterale forhold til Sverige og Norge.
