| Summary |
"The world's infrastructure depends on the successful implementation of megaprojects. These massive projects are developed to reduce poverty, improve quality of life and the environment, and solve human problems for billions of people around the world. Preparing for the megaprojects of the future is a huge undertaking for all governments, private sector organizations, multilaterals, and non-profits. The global market for foreign direct investment is expanding creating an urgent need for skills and competencies in the development and leadership of these megaprojects. Infrastructure development has become a subject of major interest to governments and private industry in every corner of the world. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) forecasts that infrastructure investments will be in the trillions of dollars by 2030. Global Megaprojects: Lessons, Case Studies, and Expert Advice on International Megaproject Management provides valuable guidance and insights from experienced megaproject experts, as well as over 20 case studies on practical solutions to the pressing issues faced by project stakeholders around the world. With the rise of megaprojects worldwide, it is essential for megaproject managers and those studying to enter the industry to understand the characteristics of successful megaprojects and how to overcome the complex challenges of these projects. Written by industry expert Virginia Greiman, this book incorporates theory and practice, focusing on perspectives from diverse regions, cultures, and industries"-- Provided by publisher. |
