Abstract:The author deploys a rigorous data collection method called a "ranking-type" Delphi survey to produce a rank- order list of risk factors. This data collection method is designed to elicit and organize opinions of a panel of experts through iterative, controlled feedback. Three simultaneous surveys were conducted in three different settings: Hong Kong, Finland, and the United States. This was done to broaden our view of the types of risks, rather than relying on the view of a single culture-an aspect that has been ignored in past risk management research. In forming the three panels, the author recruited experienced project managers in each country. The paper presents the obtained risk factor list and compares it with other published risk factor lists for completeness and variation.
