Examines key issues for students and professionals interested in and working with global construction project organisations. It focuses on managing culturally diverse and globally dispersed construction project teams. The text takes a decision-making, business-oriented approach, reinforced with contemporary international case studies.

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