Imagine the dynamics of an international engineering project such
as this one: a U.S. group designs, prototypes, and qualifies disk
drive heads; wafers for the drive heads are manufactured in the
U.S. and sent to Malaysia for subassembly; a South Korean firm
assembles these components; the final product, a fully automated
disk drive, is completed in Japan. In addition to the global
complexities of the project, there are a host of issues in leading
the project team spread across continents. Global Engineering
Project Management aligns real-world experiences in managing global
projects with practical project management principles. The author
demonstrates how to anticipate issues, covering everything from
start-up planning and supply management to cost containment,
post-project evaluation and protecting intellectual property. He
explores technologies, virtual teams, traditions, economics,
politics, and legal issues in the context of international
projects, as well as compares the differences with domestic
projects. He also highlights the complications of international
bidding, the extra time and effort needed for multi-national team
formation and management, and often overlooked project closure
tasks. As the world goes global, engineering projects increasingly
involve multiple countries, each having unique politics, cultures,
and standards that all add layers of complexity to project
management. These variables multiply fast and consequently a
project manager's responsibilities multiply faster. Examining these
challenges from start to finish, the book provides practical advice
on how to navigate the issues unique to global engineering project
management.
