Abstract
This study systematically analyzes sustainable operations management (SOM) in major infrastructure projects (MIPs). The study proposes systematic definitions of MIP-SOM and studies sustainability improvement in MIP operations management from complex systems thinking. Based on literature review and deconstructive analysis, a conceptual model of the MIP-SOM system and an integrated framework for MIP-SOM practices were constructed. Additionally, per an in-depth case analysis of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), a progressive roadmap for the MIP-SOM was developed. These results offer a systematic theoretical framework to guide MIP-SOM implementation and provide a solution for the substantive improvement of MIP sustainability.
期刊介绍:
Project Management Journal (PMJ) is the academic and research journal of the Project Management Institute and features state-of-the-art research, techniques, theories, and applications in project management.
Projects represent a growing population of human activity in large, small, private, and public organizations. Projects are used to execute and sustain today's organizational activities. They play a fundamental role as the engine of tomorrow's innovation, value creation, and strategic change. However, projects often fail to deliver their promise.
PMJ addresses these multiple challenges and opportunities by encouraging the development and application of novel theories, concepts, frameworks, research methods, and designs. PMJ embraces contributions both from within and beyond project management to augment and transform theory and practice.
