Construction Risk Management Decision Making de Alex C Arthur

Construction Risk Management Decision Making

Autor Alex C Arthur
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 dec 2021

Multe organizații din industria construcțiilor cad în capcana mitului conform căruia riscul poate fi gestionat exclusiv prin modele matematice rigide și date cantitative. În realitate, succesul sau eșecul unui proiect depinde de factorul uman și de deciziile intuitive luate sub presiune. În Construction Risk Management Decision Making, Alex C Arthur demontează ideea că algoritmii pot înlocui judecata profesională, propunând în schimb o ancorare solidă în științele comportamentale și gândirea sistemică. Apreciem modul în care autorul structurează materialul, începând cu fundamentarea teoretică a percepției riscului și continuând cu o analiză detaliată a sistemului de livrare în construcții. Găsim în prima parte a cărții o explorare fascinantă a modului în care trăsăturile de personalitate și diferențele culturale între stakeholderi influențează categorisirea riscurilor. Cititorul care a aplicat ideile din Managing Risk in Construction Projects 3e de N. Smith va găsi aici elementul care completează tabloul: trecerea de la procesele formale de identificare a riscului la înțelegerea proceselor cognitive care stau la baza deciziilor. Cartea este organizată progresiv, pornind de la conceptele de sisteme deschise și închise în Capitolul 2, până la diferențierea specializărilor în echipele de proiect. Această abordare sistemică ne permite să vedem proiectul nu ca pe o listă de sarcini, ci ca pe un organism viu unde interacțiunile umane generează riscuri intangibile. Spre deosebire de alte manuale tehnice, lucrarea publicată de Wiley integrează studii de caz care reflectă realitatea șantierului, oferind un ghid practic pentru prioritizarea riscurilor prin sisteme decizionale calitative.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este esențială pentru managerii de proiect și inginerii care doresc să înțeleagă de ce sistemele tradiționale de management al riscului eșuează adesea în practică. Veți învăța să identificați tiparele comportamentale care influențează deciziile critice și să aplicați gândirea sistemică pentru a naviga prin incertitudinea specifică industriei construcțiilor. Este un instrument care transformă experiența intuitivă într-o metodologie de lucru structurată.

Descriere

CONSTRUCTION RISK MANAGEMENT DECISION MAKING

Explores the relevance of systems thinking and behavioral science in construction risk management

Effective risk management is a vital component of all successful construction projects. Although quantitative tools for evaluating data and minimizing risk are readily available, construction managers commonly adopt a more innate, experience-based approach. In Construction Risk Management Decision Making, project manager and senior consultant Alex C. Arthur provides step-by-step advice on assessing and prioritizing risk using qualitative decision-making systems in the construction industry.

Incorporating key theories and concepts from systems thinking and behavioral science, this highly practical guide focuses on the behavior patterns of real people in the industry, rather than complex quantitative techniques and data. Concise, easy-to-understand chapters highlight the current practices of construction risk management while helping readers view risk and decision making from a broader perspective. Throughout the book, the author presents invaluable insights into the ways construction professionals think and behave in the real world.

  • Addresses the actual risk management practices of construction professionals
  • Applies human behavioral theories to the study of construction risk management decision making
  • Illustrates the highly intuitive approaches prevalent in various construction projects
  • Features real-life case studies and practical examples throughout

Construction Risk Management Decision Making is an excellent textbook for advanced students in project management, engineering, construction, and surveying courses, and a must-have guide for practitioners of construction management, surveying, and architecture.
