Excellent- More about Sustainability and Megaproject Development
Megaprojects are large-scale investment initiatives worth 1b€/$ or more that are difficult to design and manage, often over budget and delivery deadlines. This book offers a multidisciplinary approach to increase the awareness of complex phenomena and seek performance improvement across the life cycle of a megaproject.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 224 pages
Publication date: 29 January 2024
Publisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd
Megaprojects, also known as Large Engineering Projects or Major Projects, are expansive investment initiatives that exceed a value of 1 billion euros or dollars. Despite their geographical and industry-agnostic nature, these projects encounter similar challenges in their design and management, leading to costly overruns, missed deadlines, and, in the worst-case scenario, incomplete outcomes. This comprehensive book takes a multidisciplinary approach to explore the intricate realm of megaprojects. While substantial research has been conducted in the past two decades, there remains ongoing debate surrounding the effective management of these complex endeavors. What is universally acknowledged among researchers and experts is that a traditional linear management approach is insufficient, as megaprojects involve iterative and feedback processes due to stakeholder involvement and continuous interactions.
The book aims to foster a robust debate among all categories of stakeholders involved in the megaproject supply chain. By raising awareness about the intricate phenomena related to critical issues and common problems faced by megaprojects worldwide, it seeks to drive performance improvement across the entire life cycle of these projects, encompassing selection, design, construction, operation, and decommissioning.
The multidisciplinary approach adopted in the book offers a fresh perspective on studying megaprojects and their inherent complexities. It encourages readers to approach these projects with a holistic mindset, recognizing the interdependencies and interconnectedness of various aspects. By adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the book provides valuable insights and strategies for navigating the challenges and maximizing the potential of megaprojects in today's rapidly evolving global landscape.
