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. The book is based on an international research project that analyzed sixty LEPs, among them the Boston Harbor cleanup; the first phase of subway construction in Ankara, Turkey; a hydro dam on the Caroni River in Venezuela; and the construction of offshore oil platforms west of Flor, Norway. The authors use the research results to develop an experience-based theoretical framework that will allow managers to understand and respond to the complexity and uncertainty inherent in all LEPs. In addition to managers and scholars of large-scale projects, the book will be of interest to those studying the relationship between institutions and strategy, risk management, and corporate governance in general." 606 $aEngineering$xManagement 606 $aConstruction industry$xManagement 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEngineering$xManagement. 615 0$aConstruction industry$xManagement. 676 $a658.5 700 $aMiller$b Roger$f1938-$01039888 701 $aLessard$b Donald R$0124981 712 02$aIMEC Research Group. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910449988503321 996 $aThe strategic management of large engineering projects$92462353 997 $aUNINA
