Top 150 Project Management Dissertation Topics [Updated]

Project Management Dissertation Topics

Project management is like the conductor of an orchestra, harmonizing various elements to achieve a masterpiece. Dissertation topics in this field are crucial as they delve into the heart of managing projects effectively. Whether you’re a budding project manager or a seasoned professional looking to deepen your understanding, choosing the right project management dissertation topic is paramount. Let’s embark on a journey to explore some intriguing project management dissertation topics that could spark your interest and contribute to this dynamic field.

How To Pick A Dissertation Topic?

Table of Contents

Picking what you’ll study for your big research project (dissertation) is a really important choice. Take your time and think about it carefully. Here are some steps to help you pick the right topic:

  • Reflect on your interests: Consider topics that genuinely interest you and align with your passion and expertise. Your enthusiasm will sustain you through the research process.
  • Review existing literature: Conduct a thorough review of literature in your field to identify gaps, unanswered questions, or emerging trends that could form the basis of your research.
  • Consider practical relevance: Choose a topic that has practical relevance and real-world implications for your field, industry, or community. Aim to address pressing issues or challenges faced by practitioners or organizations.
  • Consult with advisors and peers: Seek feedback from your academic advisors, mentors, or peers to get their perspectives on potential topics. They can give you good advice and assist you in making your ideas better.
  • Narrow down your focus: Once you have a broad topic in mind, narrow it down to a specific research question or area of investigation. Make sure your topic is manageable within the scope of your dissertation and aligns with the available resources and timeline.
  • Evaluate feasibility: Figure out if your topic is doable by checking if you can find enough information, if you have the right tools to study it, if it’s morally okay, and if there are any real-life limits that might get in the way. Ensure that you have access to the necessary resources and support to conduct your research effectively.
  • Stay flexible: Stay ready to change or improve your topic as you learn more during your research and find out new things. Your dissertation topic might change as you go, so it’s important to be open to that and be able to adjust along the way.

Cost overruns are a persistent problem in oil and gas megaprojects. Whilst the extant literature is filled with studies on incidents and causes of cost overruns, underlying theories to explain their emergence in oil and gas megaprojects are few. Yet, a way to contain the syndrome of cost overruns is to understand the bases of ‘how and why’ they occur. Such knowledge will also help to develop pragmatic techniques for better overall management of oil and gas megaprojects. The aim of this paper is to explain the development of cost overruns in hydrocarbon megaprojects through the perspective of chaos theory. The underlying principles of chaos theory and its implications for cost overruns are examined and practical is proposed. In addition, directions for future research in this fertile area provided.

The Oxford Handbook of Megaproject Management

Bent Flyvbjerg

Megaprojects are large, they are constantly growing ever larger, and more and more are being built in what has been called the biggest investment boom in history. This chapter serves as an introduction to megaprojects, and to The Oxford Handbook of Megaproject Management. First, megaprojects are defined and the size of the global megaprojects business is estimated. Second, drivers of the megaproject boom are identified, including monumentalism and the technological sublime. Third, ten things you must know about megaprojects are detailed, from their tendency to suffer from uniqueness bias to their overexposure to black-swan events. Fourth, the "iron law of megaprojects" is identified as a main challenge to megaproject management: "Over budget, over time, under benefits, over and over again." Finally, the main structure of the Handbook is set out as covering the what, the why, and the how of megaproject management, in terms of the challenges, causes, and cures that students of megaprojects must decipher to better understand and better manage megaprojects.

The need for this study arose from the thesis that infrastructure megaprojects are often delivered over budget, behind schedule, with benefit shortfalls, over and over again. Many studies have been conducted towards this conclusion but these studies have not included Kenya which is increasingly adopting megaprojects as a model for delivering public goods and services. Through this quantitative study utilizing a cross-sectional census survey design, the performance of 27 completed public infrastructure megaprojects was assessed using broader measures of project success. The findings agree that these projects are delivered over budget and behind schedule but not with benefit shortfalls. It is also confirmed that process or project management success does not necessarily lead to product or organizational success. It is recommended that public infrastructure megaproject sponsors and implementers adopt project structures that allow for innovation through the use of advanced technology. Such structures should encourage the use of competitive tendering and a preference for pain/gain contractual arrangements to accommodate the differences in risk preferences between the client and the contractor, and to minimize the incidences of agency problem among the various stakeholders.

Julien Pollack

The paper explores three texts in the field of megaproject management that intersubjectively, in terms of community sentiment, might be considered 'classics'. We deploy four criteria for a structured analysis that determines if the status of the works in question may be considered classic. The works examined are Megaprojects and Risk: An Anatomy of Ambition by Flyvbjerg, Bruzelius and Rothengatter; (2003) The Anatomy of Major Projects by Morris and Hough (1987) and Industrial Megaprojects by Merrow (2011). Based on these works we conclude with a prospectus for future research that will serve to develop the field of research into megaproject management.

This report was commissioned by the Commission of Inquiry Respecting the Muskrat Falls Project to provide the national and international context in which the Muskrat Falls Project took place. The Commission asked for the report to cover three specific topics of questions: (1) What is the national and international context of the Muskrat Falls Project with regards to cost overrun and schedule overrun? (What are the typical cost and schedule overruns of hydro-electric dam projects? How do hydro-electric dams compare to other capital investment projects? How do Canadian projects compare to other countries?), (2) What are the causes and root causes of cost and schedule overruns? (3) What are recommendations, based on international experience and research into capital investment projects, to prevent cost and schedule overruns in hydro-electric dam projects and other capital investment projects? Keywords: Hydroelectric Dams, Megaprojects, Cost Overrun, Schedule Overrun, Optimism Bias, Strategic Misrepresentation, Infrastructure, Capital Investment Projects, Canada, Muskrat Falls.

Evgeny Chavanin

The phenomenon known as the “megaproject paradox”, a situation in which the project fails to meet its cost, schedule and quality targets, has been given an unprecedented attention in the research literature and is currently on the rise, as the governments tighten budgets and cut public spending. The cost study by Flyvbjerg et al. (2002) analyzed 258 transport projects from 20 nations across 5 continents and discovered that 9 out of 10 projects had budget overrun, with an average budget escalation of 28%. Furthermore, the overrun appeared to be constant over a 70-year time span. This problem is not uncommon for other industries. Recent study of 5,400 large IT projects estimated an average budget overrun at 45%, with 7% overtime and 56% drop in deliverable value (M. Bloch, Sven Blumberg, Jurgen Laartz, 2012). The authors also found out that the longer the project is scheduled to last, the more likely it is to run over time and budget. Thus, every additional year spent on the project increases cost overruns by 15% (M. Bloch, Sven Blumberg, Jurgen Laartz, 2012). Another study of IT projects by US Army found that 47% were delivered to the customer but not used; 29% were paid for but not delivered; 19% were abandoned or reworked; 3% were used with minor changes; and only 2% were used as delivered (Williams & Samset, 2010). The cited study of PricewaterhouseCoopers finds out that only 2.5% of large capital projects in the world’s mining industry had been successful (Motta et al. 2014). In oil and gas industry 30-40% of the projects overrun their costs by at least 10% (Mckenna, Vanderschee & Wilczynski, 2011).

A substantial academic literature has developed in recent years concerned with the performance and management of so-called ‘megaprojects’. It is argued, implicitly or explicitly, that such projects are special in some way and deserve specific attention. The difference is typically conceived as one of scale of absolute financial commitment, but arguably, they possess separate and perhaps only partially correlated, other characteristics such as strategic importance and size relative to the context of their implementation. Over a rather longer timescale, the Business and Management academic literature has developed a significant stream of work looking to analyse and improve strategic management within organisations. A feature shared by each stream of work is the adoption of a cognitive, decisional perspective as one lens through which to view, and hopefully better understand, the issues concerned. In this paper, decisional perspectives identified in each of the two literatures are taken and used as a framework for understanding the implementation of megaprojects. Building on this platform, questions are then asked about how the management of such large and demanding projects might be done differently, especially in terms of seeking to address some of the principal criticisms of megaproject analysis and management, for example, over-optimistic performance projections and cost estimates. The aim throughout is to distil the insights the academic decision research literature and perspective can offer, but to develop from that foundation advice and support clearly attuned to a practitioner viewpoint.

Construction projects routinely overrun their cost estimates. A plethora of studies have thus been dedicated to investigating the root causes, sizes, distribution and nature of overruns. The causes range from a poor understanding of the impact of systemicity and complexity projects, unrealistic cost targets and misguided trade-offs between project scope, time and cost to suspicions of foul play and even corruption. In spite of the vast attention dedicated to the problem of cost overrun, there has been limited evidence to support the claim that the size or occurrence of cost overruns is reducing in practice. A review of the literature reveals that it may not be an exaggeration to claim that the bulk of our current cost overrun research may largely be inadequate and deficient to deal with the complexity posed by construction projects. This paper provides a critique of current cost overrun research and suggests that the adoption of systems thinking is required to better understand the nature of cost overruns. We explore some of the embedded methodological weaknesses in the approaches adopted in a majority of cost overrun research, particularly the lack of systems thinking and demonstrable causality. We reach the following conclusion - cost overrun research has largely stagnated in the refinement and advancement of the knowledge area. It has largely been superficial and replicative. A significant paradigm and methodological shift may be required to address this perennial and complex problem faced in construction project delivery.

Engineering Management Dissertation Topics

Published by Carmen Troy at January 9th, 2023 , Revised On May 17, 2024

Dissertation writing is an extremely important academic task that all students must complete as part of their degree programmes. However, choosing a dissertation topic can be an extremely daunting challenge for most students because they could be unsure about the area of research they should pursue.

The dissertation starts with an idea upon which research is performed. The idea is then transformed into an academic concept by presenting arguments and evidence. It should be noted that a well-written dissertation addresses the research topic at all levels and is written concisely.

The  research methodology chapter  of a dissertation presents complete evidence of the research work performed in the form of data collection/analysis methods employed by the researcher. However, many students do not know where to start.

To help you get started with brainstorming for engineering management topic ideas, we have developed a list of the latest topics that can be used for writing your engineering management dissertation.

These topics have been developed by PhD qualified  writers of our team , so you can trust to use these topics for drafting your dissertation.

You may also want to start your dissertation by requesting  a brief research proposal  from our writers on any of these topics, which includes an  introduction  to the problem,  research questions , aim and objectives , and literature review  along with the proposed  methodology  of research to be conducted.  Let us know  if you need any help in getting started.

Check our  example dissertations  to get an idea of  how to structure your dissertation .

You can review step by step guide on how to write your dissertation  here.

Important Notes:

As an engineering management student looking to get good grades, it is essential to develop new ideas and experiment with existing engineering management theories – i.e., to add value and interest to your research topic.

The field of engineering management is vast and interrelated to so many other academic disciplines like civil engineering ,  construction ,  law ,  healthcare , mental health , artificial intelligence , tourism , physiotherapy , sociology , management , marketing , and nursing . That is why it is imperative to create a project management dissertation topic that is articular, sound, and actually solves a practical problem that may be rampant in the field.

We can’t stress how important it is to develop a logical research topic; it is the basis of your entire research. There are several significant downfalls to getting your topic wrong; your supervisor may not be interested in working on it, the topic has no academic creditability, the research may not make logical sense, and there is a possibility that the study is not viable.

This impacts your time and efforts in  writing your dissertation as you may end up in a cycle of rejection at the very initial stage of the dissertation. That is why we recommend reviewing existing research to develop a topic, taking advice from your supervisor, and even asking for help in this particular stage of your dissertation.

While developing a research topic, keeping our advice in mind will allow you to pick one of the best engineering management dissertation topics that fulfils your requirement of writing a research paper and adding to the body of knowledge.

Therefore, it is recommended that when finalising your dissertation topic, you read recently published literature to identify gaps in the research that you may help fill.

Remember- dissertation topics need to be unique, solve an identified problem, be logical, and be practically implemented. Take a look at some of our sample engineering management dissertation topics to get an idea for your own dissertation.
