文化影响在建设项目中是不可避免的，清楚地了解文化影响对于成功的风险管理至关重要。本研究旨在探讨文化如何影响承包商的风险管理。本文采用案例研究的方法，对中国、波兰和新加坡的四个项目进行了研究。数据通过采访和档案文件收集。主要的风险识别和风险管理在每种情况下讨论的背景下，霍夫施泰德的理论。提出了一个概念框架，以揭示文化和风险管理之间的联系。研究结果表明，项目风险的认识和管理在不同的国家文化不同。研究表明，在PDI、LTO和MAS的贡献之外，IDV和UAI是关注的焦点，承包商对东道国民族文化的了解影响着他们的风险管理行为。掌握这些信息对改进国际承包商的风险管理做法非常重要。
Cultural influence is unavoidable in construction projects and a clear understanding of it is vital for successful risk management. This study aims to explore how culture influences contractors' risk management. A case study method is selected including four projects in China, Poland and Singapore. Data are collected through interviews and archival documents. Major risks are identified and risk management in each case is discussed in the context of Hofstede's theory. A conceptual framework is proposed to reveal the link between culture and risk management. The findings show that project risks are perceived and managed differently in different national cultures. It is indicated thatIDVandUAIare the foci of attention, beyond the contributions ofPDI,LTOandMAS, and that contractors' knowledge of the host country's national culture influences their risk management behaviors. Having such information is of great importance to improve international contractors' risk management practice.
