Slide 2 According to: KATHLEEN M. EISENHARDT Building theories
from case study research We put in place the following framework
Slide 3 Slide 4 Slide 5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS 1) WHY DO MEGAPROJECTS
PERFORM BEHAVE LIKE THEY DO? (BADLY) 2) WHAT CAN WE DO TO MAKE THEM
PERFORM BETTER? Slide 6 CRITERIA INDICATORS CAUSES Slide 7 A PRIORI
CONSTRUCTS Slide 8 Fulfilling the purpose makes project
successful???? YES What about the tiangle? For who? - FOR ALL!
Slide 9 INDICATORS Project acceptance is driver (indicator) for
project performance CRITERIA Fulfilling the purpose Cost, time,
specification Benefits CAUSES Stakeholder number and relationships
influence on how project is performed Environment influence
external risks Slide 10 Definition Project acceptance is defined as
acceptance by two major external stakeholder groups that are
outside the government: A) Industrial acceptance -
industry/industrial association/business associations and B) Social
acceptance - citizens, environmentalist, NGOs, etc. Slide 11
ITERACTIVE WAY (maybe one cycle) DEDUCTIONINDUCTION Slide 12
Megaproject behaviour HOW? Megaproject behaviour WHY? Megaproject
behaviour WHAT TO DO? Purpose Cost Time Spec. Benefits Stakeholder
network External Risks Slide 13 Two groups Energy and transport
Cases with enough information 10 Criteria for selection Project
acceptance The method for case selection (Eisenhart) Looking for
similarities Looking for diversities Slide 14 Industrial acceptance

Slide 19 WE DONT GO INTO DETAIL WE CUT Slide 20 Project acceptance
The typology of contract doesnt affect the project acceptance.
Stakeholder network complexity always occurs (megaprojects are
complex by definition), but seems to have no so much impact on
project acceptance. Project output performance (understood as Time,
Cost, Quality) seems to be always weak but have no so significant
impact on project acceptance Environment conditions (understood as
legal, political as economic) have not much impact on project
acceptance. Slide 21 Enablers Effective legal and political support
EU support and Green politics (GG) Strategic planning process and
legislative preventive measures, PPP law (HSP-P) Disablers
Nonsupportive and ineffective legal environment (F) rigid
framework, (E) delays in regulatory approvals due to too many
regulatory entities, legislative change Slide 22 Enablers Green
politics, EU support energy strategy "Energy 2020(GG) Disablers
Change of political party canceled whole project (HSP-P) governed
by the following Legal and Regulatory frameworks - 7 entities (E)
Slide 23 Enablers EU fundings (GG) (HSP-P) Emploiment developement
(E) Disablers Recession (GG) Slide 24 In terms of Project
acceptance all variables considered seems to be no much effective.
If we take the project acceptance as mesure of project performace:
a substantial rethinking must be put in place about the perspective
from wich we are regarding the megaprogect
