Tradition and Innovation in Construction Project Management
1. Introduction and Aim of the Special Issue
2. Commentary on the Published Papers
- Notably, risk management emerges as a prominent theme, with Y. Wang et al. [10] developing a risk propagation model for an assembled building supply chain network. Bahamid et al. [20] summarized risk management strategies in Yemeni building projects. J. Wang et al. [22] established a safety risk assessment framework based on Bayesian Network, improved Human Factors Analysis and Classification System, and improved the Similarity Aggregation Method. Huang et al. [27] proposed a safety risk assessment model using a BP neural network algorithm. Yan et al. [29] investigated the coupling evaluation method to analyze the influence of social stability risk factors in major projects;
- Furthermore, the inclusion of behavioral research signifies the growing recognition of understanding the behavior of contracting parties in projects. Y. Li et al. [16] employed a bibliometric analysis of 1254 studies from the Web of Science to explore behavioral research in construction engineering management. Y. Zhang et al. [23] revealed the evolutionary law of private enterprises’ participation behavior under different incentive modes in Public–Private Partnership projects. Whereas, Yang et al. [26] established an index system of organization interactions to determine synchronizability and effective interaction methods;
- In the realm of resource management, Yan et al. [11] combined regret theory and the Fuzzy-DEMATEL method to develop a multi-attribute model for construction program manager selection. Additionally, J. Zhang et al. [15] analyzed the current state, consequences, and emerging trends in resource management research at the macroscopic level to explore potential solutions;
- Finally, this Special Issue delves into the domain of lean construction management, with Huaman-Orosco et al. [17] exploring barriers, challenges, and strategies for adopting lean practices in small and medium-sized enterprises.
