Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to analyze how
the Engineering Project Organization Society (EPOS)
has addressed the issue of megaprojects at their annual
conferences organized from 2006 to 2016. The literature
analysis used in this paper is a form of content analysis.
It focuses on the usage of a particular term in scientific
papers. In this case, the key term is “megaprojects” or
“mega-projects”. Papers in which this term appears are
selected for further analysis. The findings show that the
main keyword “megaproject” or “mega-project” appears
22 times in the identified papers. It appears in 10 titles and
nine abstracts. Most important for this literature analysis,
it appears in seven lists of keywords. Literature analysis
proceeded by analyzing the associated keywords in the
seven papers in which the main keyword “megaproject”
or “mega-projects” can be found in the listed keywords.
The analysis shows that the main associated keywords are
“governance”, “complexity”, and “trust”. This research
provides a view of the collective understanding of megaprojects
within the EPOS community and helps to shape
further research in this field. In addition, the results of
this research can be seen as a step forward for scholars
and practitioners to discuss and develop a new theoretical
framework for better understanding of megaproject
governance.
