Abstract

Purpose

Megaprojects stimulate and challenge public opinion across countries, generating extensive reactions from citizens. Given their ability to attract public attention, they may also influence public participation in collective choices and political decision-making. These issues are relevant for evaluating projects, but are unfortunately rarely discussed in the managerial literature. This study aims to open up a debate on social issues and how they could be taken into account within management studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This study carried out a systematic review of the literature on the social impact of megaprojects to identify different research areas related to the evaluation of megaprojects from a social perspective.

Findings

This study identified three different research areas related to the evaluation of megaprojects from a social perspective: the role of power and social issues; infrastructure and social space; and stakeholder engagement and endorsement.

Originality/value

This paper underlines the need to go beyond current understanding of the social impacts of megaprojects and calls for a more interdisciplinary research agenda.

分析社会价值在特大项目中的作用：建立新的绩效框架

目的大型项目在各国刺激和挑战公众舆论，引起公民的广泛反响。鉴于其吸引公众关注的能力，它们还可能影响公众参与集体选择和政治决策。这些问题与项目评估息息相关，但遗憾的是，管理文献中很少讨论这些问题。本研究旨在就社会问题以及如何在管理研究中将这些问题纳入考虑范围展开讨论。研究结果本研究确定了与从社会角度评估特大项目有关的三个不同研究领域：权力和社会问题的作用；基础设施和社会空间；以及利益相关者的参与和认可。
