图书简介

This book presents a state-of-the-art account of the recent developments and needs for project management in developing countries. It adds to the current state of knowledge on project management in general by capturing current trends, how they widen the content and scope of the field, and why there is a need for a specialist body of knowledge for developing countries. Eminent experts in this domain address the specific nature and demands of project management in developing countries, in the context of its scope and priorities, and discuss the relationships between this emerging field and established bodies of knowledge. The book also addresses the future of project management in developing countries and how this might influence mainstream project management. This important book will be an essential reference for practitioners, students, researchers and policymakers engaged in how to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of project management in developing countries.Key Features: oThe book brings together chapters authored by eminent researchers and practitioners on Project Management in Construction. The authors are also highly knowledgeable in aspects of construction in developing countriesoThe book fills a vacuum. Both researchers and practitioners in the developing countries have had to use concepts and frameworks of project management which have been formulated for different contextsoMany studies have found that the root causes of failure and poor performance on construction projects in developing countries include the application of inappropriate project management approaches and techniquesoThis book should be directly useful to practitioners. It should also generate debate and further work among researchers
