Negotiation-based risk management for PPP-BOT infrastructure projects

Attarzadeh, M (2014) Negotiation-based risk management for PPP-BOT infrastructure projects. PhD thesis, National University of Singapore, Singapore.

Abstract

This thesis proposes a systematic negotiation mechanism for PPP-BOT infrastructure project based on the game theory, hybrid simulation and real options valuation. Firstly, this mechanism helps to determine each party's negotiation position and corresponding payoff through fuzzy game theory approach especially in the development phase. Secondly, the proposed fuzzy randomness Monte Carlo simulation technique helps both parties to incorporate risk and uncertainty in the simulation simultaneously. Its results lead to well defined negotiation bound (bargaining interval) of decision variables i.e. Financial and contractual negotiation parameters which are called negotiable concession items and its associated cumulative distribution functions corresponding to specific confidence level for simulation output. Finally, the financial viability of PPP-BOT project was assessed. The real options mechanism was proposed to retain the project financial viability at an acceptable level by all parties.

Descriptive scope: 4 PCTA

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
