The most up-to-date edition of the bestselling text on megaprojects
In
the newly revised second edition of Industrial Megaprojects Revisited:
Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success, 2nd Edition , veteran
megaproject valuator Edward Merrow delivers an accessible and
authoritative discussion of why megaprojects frequently go over budget,
past their deadlines, or result in safety compromises. You’ll explore
project management deficiencies, destructive team dynamics, weak
accountability systems, short-term biases, and technical expertise gaps
and, more importantly, learn how to avoid or address these pitfalls in
the real world.
This latest edition offers extensive new material on renewable energy and decarbonization projects, as well as:
- Clear, nontechnical explanations of why major projects tend to get into trouble
- Strategies to avoid hazardous and costly errors in the high-stakes megaproject environment
- A
comprehensive collection of tools, tips, principles, and frameworks to
take a megaproject from start to finish without compromising on
safety, blowing the budget, or exceeding the deadline
An
essential resource for engineers and industry professionals and
executives, Industrial Megaprojects remains the gold standard on the
subject. It also belongs in the libraries of finance and banking
professionals who regularly fund these projects, and academics who
research them.
