The Strategic Management of Large Engineering Projects: Shaping Institutions, Risks, and Governance

By Roger Miller and Donald R. Lessard

Book Overview

As the number, complexity and scope of large engineering projects (LEPs) increase worldwide, the huge stakes may endanger the survival of corporations and threaten the stability of countries that approach these projects unprepared. According to the authors, the front-end engineering of institutional arrangements and strategic systems is a far greater determinant of an LEP's success than are the more tangible aspects of project engineering and management.
