Abstract
En 中文
This special issue asks, Do classics exist in megaproject management? We identify three types of classics: conventional, Kuhnian, and citation classics. We find that the answer to our question depends on the definition of classic employed. First, citation classics do exist in megaproject management, and they perform remarkably well when compared to the rest of the management literature. A preliminary Top Ten of citation classics is presented. Second, there is no indication that conventional classics exist in megaproject management, i.e., texts recognized as definitive by a majority of experts. Third, there is also no consensus as to whether Kuhnian classics exist, i.e., texts with paradigmatic clout. The importance of classics seems to be accepted, however, just as work to develop, discuss, and consolidate classics is seen as essential by megaproject scholars. A set of guidelines is presented for developing classics in megaproject management research. (C) 2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
