This book is about managing the infrastructure development cycle
from project initiation to the end of the operation and maintenance
phase. It focuses on the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) contract
and, from this perspective, private and public sector procurement
are variations.Designed for students from different backgrounds
such as information technology, business, architecture, quantity
surveying, urban planning, project management, engineering,
construction, facilities management, transport, finance, economics,
and law, the book provides a structured guide to these diverse
students as well as researchers, public officials, project
sponsors, lenders, developers, contractors, subcontractors,
suppliers, investors, infrastructure fund managers, insurers,
facilities managers, non-government organizations, and consultants
such as designers, engineers, environmental specialists, legal
advisors, and brokers.The book presents general principles that are
applicable in different countries, particularly in the developing
world where markets and other institutions are less developed and
uses examples to clarify ideas.

Research Methods: A Practical Guide for Students and Researchers is
a practical guide on how to conduct research systematically and
professionally. The book begins by distinguishing between causal
and interpretive sciences. It then guides the reader on how to
formulate the research question, review the literature, develop the
hypothesis or framework, select a suitable research methodology,
and analyze both quantitative and qualitative data.The book uses
classic examples as exemplars. It also uses many examples from
different disciplines and sectors to demonstrate and showcase the
inter-connections and wider applications of research tools.The book
emphasizes integration. It does not merely provide a smorgasbord of
research designs, data collection methods, and ways to analyze
data. Instead, it shows how one could formulate research strategies
given the outcomes the researchers are required or tasked to
deliver.The revised edition includes three new chapters on time
series (including spatial models), machine learning, and
meta-analysis. In addition, existing chapters have been expanded to
include more examples, digital research, and new material.
