Abstract

Research on the management of major projects is one of the main themes of Peter Morris' work. We address this theme in the context of transportation infrastructure projects and focus in particular on the contribution of the “strong owner” to project performance. After defining the strong owner concept, we will suggest that the theoretical literature on dynamic capabilities can be the source of deeper insight into the strong owner and will thereby develop the concept of owner project capabilities. The paper will then present a framework generated from a review of the existing literature complemented by pilot empirical research which provides the basis for a research agenda on the role of the owner of the infrastructure assets in achieving high performance on transportation infrastructure projects. In discussion, the paper suggests that the framework developed is applicable to a wider variety of major projects and programmes.

10. Concluding thoughts

This paper has outlined a first sketch of what owner project capabilities might look like as a bundle for infrastructure owners. Owners of infrastructure, in essence, do two things: they are investors in infrastructure and they are usually the operators of that infrastructure to provide infrastructure services to their customers. We started from the premise that these two activities require a very different set of dynamic capabilities from the project-based firms which actually design and construct infrastructure. We have therefore identified areas of research that are not normally in scope to the field of project organising such as investment appraisal, and also looked at more mainstream capabilities such as project coordination capabilities through a new lens.
