Produktbeschreibung

Mistakes on mega-projects continue to embarrass Governments all over the world. No country has been immune from such fiascos, but the failures are eminently avoidable - if you know how. Governments don't need the costs of failure, they don't need the aggravation. They do need Louise Hart's Procuring Successful Mega-Projects. Within the context of large public projects, the author explains how to structure the project, how to build and manage a team, how to run the procurement process and how to ensure that the handover to the delivery phase is not a hospital pass.

"This unique specialist book on the good practice of megaproject procurement will be an inspirational and useful read for both academics and professionals who have an interest and/or duty in the procurement and management of megaprojects and/or major projects (worth over £100 million each) across the world... A most engaging and lasting solution... The reviewer wishes to recommend strongly this remarkable book to colleagues working both in practice and research in megaproject procurement and management." - Proceedings of the Institute of Civil Engineers
