Abstract

Shipbuilding as a megaproject has many uncertainties due to the overlapping design and construction activity. It is primarily driven by the substantial time and complexity involved in designing a ship and by the irregular pattern of demand from ship-owners. However, in shipbuilding operations nowadays, the role of other stakeholders has become increasingly relevant to address these issues and to improve firm's knowledge. This study argues that a characteristic of a successful shipbuilding project lies in the internal and external learning process which runs in parallel to all operations. Focusing on the small sample of firms, this paper will identify the process of routine, changes, and adaptation that is been practised and implemented across shipyards to produce a higher value product and service.
