Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to identify gaps in the opportunity management literature (as a subset of overall risk management) and to identify future research in opportunity management. The methodology is non-experimental using a descriptive literature review content analysis of opportunity management articles published between 2010 and 2019. The identified strengths and weaknesses establish a future research agenda including process steps and tailoring, risk exposure, and balanced risk. The research resulted in a repeatable methodology that can be applied to other research domains in addition to the opportunity management research agenda.

Keywords: risk management, opportunity management, positive risk, project management, qualitative, descriptive literature review.
