Management of Global Construction Projects is the first textbook of its kind, taking a uniquely global approach to project management in construction. Using a wealth of case studies from around the world to explain theory and practice, the authors take a business-oriented, decision-making approach to project management and the challenges it faces in the modern world.

The book covers topics highly relevant to the challenges and opportunities currently facing the global construction industry, including managing culturally diverse and globally dispersed teams, international project finance and global stakeholders in projects.

Management of Global Construction Projects
- is the first textbook to combine project management and international construction
- features a wide range of international case studies, with examples from BRIC countries and Africa, to provide real insight into construction across the world, including in developing countries
- covers increasingly important and current issues, such as managing sustainability and cultural diversity

Management of Global Construction Projects is essential reading for both students of construction management and professionals looking to understand construction project management in a truly global context.
