Dr Ghahremanzadeh's book on Contingency and Risk Management in Construction takes an in-depth look at risk management strategies in areas where there is high economic and political volatility. Whilst the construction industry is one of riskiest and challenging to operate in, Dr Ghahremanzadeh's use of contingency theory in extreme situations breaks important new ground. Her in-depth knowledge of construction risk together with data on a topical case study has resulted in a new understanding of how to manage when the risks become almost unmanageable. This book is an important step in developing new theories of construction risk management.
