Infrastructure development and maintenance is vital for a country's economy but the delivery of projects is becoming ever more challenging because of the economic and legislative environment. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the management of infrastructure projects, from project appraisal to supply chain to implementing practices. The authors incorporate contemporary approaches to project management and provide more linkage between techniques, risk, agile approaches and integrated supply chains, making this a comprehensive reference for students on infrastructure focussed project management modules at undergraduate and postgraduate level.

The first textbook of its kind, taking a uniquely global approach to project management in construction. Using a wealth of case studies from around the world to explain theory and practice, the authors take a business-oriented, decision-making approach to project management and the challenges it faces in the modern world. The book covers topics highly relevant to the challenges and opportunities currently facing the global construction industry, including managing culturally-diverse and globally dispersed teams, international project finance and global stakeholders in projects.Management of Global Construction Projects is essential reading for both students of construction management and professionals looking to understand construction project management in a truly global context.
