title: THE INFLUENCE OF INSTITUTIONAL AMBIGUITY ON DECISION-MAKING IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS: THE CASE OF THE DUTCH LELYLIJN
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Oftentimes in modern day infrastructure projects, construction is delayed due to uncertainty, 
leading to delays. This affects the success rate of the infrastructure project, and thus it is relevant 
to find reasons behind this. Literature has suggested that institutional ambiguity plays a role in 
decision-making, which in the end creates most of the delays. This study tried to follow-up on
this claim by doing a case study after the Dutch Lelylijn project. Based on various interviews, 
the study partly verifies the theoretical claim in the Lelylijn case. In the discussion, the research 
question is answered and some theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
