Identification and assessment of risks in petrochemical projects in Iran; case study: Bakhtar Petrochemical Company

One of the most important issues in many project-oriented organizations is the risk management of the ongoing projects of that organization. In this regard, in the first step, the potential risks of projects should be identified under a systematic and comprehensive scheme, and then, using appropriat...
