Managing Project Risk and Uncertainty: A Constructively Simple Approach to Decision Making Hardcover - 2002 - 1st Edition
by Chris Chapman; Stephen Ward
From the jacket flap
Rigorously grounded conceptually but developed to meet practical concerns, this book underpins and extends the scope and power of current approaches to the management of risk and uncertainty in projects and related operational and strategic management decision making.
Ten tales, based on real cases, explore a range of project related problems, including: cost estimation, pricing competitive bids, risk allocation and incentive contract design, evaluation of threats and opportunities, buffer management in a supply chain, investment appraisal, portfolio management, and strategy formulation. Each tale provides practical guidance on achieving effective and efficient uncertainty management through simple analysis and discussion of emergent issues.
Using a 'constructively simple' approach to model building and the associated decision support processes, the authors show the reader how to take the guesswork out of managing risk and uncertainty. Keeping formal analysis simple, without being simplistic, and adding complexity only when it facilitates additional insights, they provide a framework for 'constructive simplicity' which can be used to enhance risk and uncertainty management in any area of managerial decision making, whether in a project, operational, or strategic context.
