We attempt to study the participants behavioral risks of the complex project based on the theory of complexity analysis in this paper. First of all, through the review of literature we put forward the research contents of the complexity theory. Then, discuss the complexity characteristics of the project management; focus on the definition of the project complexity, the nonlinear characteristics of the project organization, the emergence and uncertainty characteristics of the complex project, etc. Finally, we point out that both from the perspective of theoretical research and project practice, the complexity analysis of project management has a positive significance.

Conceptual Paper

Purpose: In this conceptual paper, the argument is put forward that due to the complexity that characterises most project environments, it is now time to examine alternative notions of project outcomes.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is conceptual in nature and draws upon literature on complexity theory, expectations theories and stakeholder theory.Findings: The paper finds that there is a need to articulate a different assessment of project outcomes than has been traditionally undertaken. Such assessments may emphasise the perceptions of project clients formed through their experience of projects throughout the project lifecycle.Implications: This paper raises questions on whether the outcomes of projects are best ‘measured’ or ‘assessed’.
