Impact Of External Disruptions On Network Governance Of Construction Projects
Iyer, K. Chandrashekhar
Impact Of External Disruptions On Network Governance Of Construction Projects :A Case Study Of Demonetisation And GST In India - Vol. 33(3), July-Sep - Pune NICMAR 2018 - 5-16p.
The disruption of construction activities reflect in consequential delays and cost implications ofthe project. Demonetization and introduction ofGoods and Service Tax (GST) in India had led to events ofdisruption in Indian construction sector and the extent ofdisruption that these two events have caused is shown in this study. The relevant data were collected from 13 different construction and infrastructure projects ofan Indian construction firm, from different zones ofthe country to assess the impacts of disruption caused by these two events. The impact of each event was recorded separately on different governance networks considered for each project; namely Labour Flow Network (LFN), Material Flow Network (MFN), Information Flow Network (IFN) and Finance Flow Network (FFN) and weights assigned to each governance network based on the relative importance were used to compute and assess the overall impact on that project. This study showed that there was significant delay and cost impact due to GST and significant delay impact only, in the case of Demonetization. Also, the impacts of disruption caused by both Demonetization and GST were compared to conclude that the nature of impact of both the disruptions and events can be different.
