Abstract

Megaprojects faced many pathologies and challenges to provide the attended impacts. These pathologies contribute to overshadow the results and outcomes needed by those who promote these kind of projects. So, we need to unsderstand and assess properly the dynamics related to megaprojects. To overcome this situation we present a new way to analyze megaprojects based on a knowledge benchmarking process framework.

Keywords: Megaprojects, Knowledge management, Case study, Evaluation
