Ho (2006) examines when and how government would
initiate a rescue program for a failing project and what the
impacts of government's rescue behavior on project procurement
and management are. He then develops a game-theory
based model to provide theoretic foundations for prescribing
effective public–private partnership (PPP) project procurement
and management practice. Maytorena et al. (2007) use a
combined method of the active information search (AIS) and
the cognitive mapping (CM) approach to interview 51 project
managers and conclude that information search style, level of
education, and risk management training play a significant role
in risk identification performance, which in return affects
project performance.
