Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
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. 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. 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. Contributors Bjorn Andersen,
