8(uncertainty and strategic importance), and on the approaches to how project outcomes areassessed. One fundamental dilemma is acknowledged: the work focuses on the front-end (whichis mainly associated with strategic, long-term issues), but is designed to explore issues primarilyassociated with the immediate outputs of a project. Again, it should be kept in mind that thisstudy may be seen to be a first step towards dealing with more fundamental issues.Chapter 4 provides a summary of the main results from the papers presented in Part 2, whichconstitute the research work, in order to arrive at a brief, integrated overview of central issuesthat emerge. Finally, Chapter 5 highlights some lessons learned and some possible implications ofthe work. It is understood that more extensive studies are needed to provide more reliableanswers, so a few avenues for future research are identified.
