Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text and firm binding. Bright untorn dust jacket with a blank label glued to the rear flap. -- Large engineering projects (LEPs) - such as dams, power plants, and transport networks - frequently suffer from massive cost overruns and delays. This study, based on the International Management of Large Engineering Projects (IMEC) research programme, moves away from traditional project management techniques like scheduling and cost-estimation. Instead, it focuses on the strategic choices made during the 'front-end' phase, showing that the success of a megaproject depends on how its sponsors shape the institutional environment, risks, and governance structures before construction begins. The text examines sixty global projects, including the Boston Harbor cleanup, the Ankara subway construction in Turkey and offshore oil platforms in Norway, to illustrate why some succeed while others fail. It identifies that LEPs exist in 'turbulent' environments where political, economic, and social shifts can derail even the best-engineered plans. The authors explain that risk should not merely be avoided but actively managed through a "layering" model that balances direct allocation with indirect risk management through financial and governance structures. A major theme is the importance of institutional framing - building a stable network of laws, regulations, and stakeholder agreements that protect the project from external shocks. Governance is presented as a dynamic process of managing relationships between private firms and public entities, ensuring that incentives are aligned throughout the decades-long lifecycle of an enterprise. In a contemporary landscape defined by the energy transition and the rollout of massive digital and transport infrastructure, these insights remain highly practical. The shift toward public-private partnerships and the increasing complexity of global regulations make the focus on front-end shaping and institutional governance particularly relevant. The volume provides a documented, evidence-based alternative to the technical optimism that often leads to infrastructure crises. This is an essential resource for engineers, policymakers, and business leaders navigating the financial and political complexities of modern megaprojects. A quarter-century after publication, the book remains required reading on university courses in strategic project management and continues to be cited in current research on megaproject delivery.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book presents a current review ofphotonic technologies and their applications. The papers published in this book are extended versions of the papers presented at the Inter national Conference on Applications ofPhotonic Technology (ICAPT'96) held in Montreal, Canada, on July 29 to August 1, 1996. The theme of this event was 'Closing the Gap Between Theory, Developments and Applications. ' The term photonics covers both optics and optical engineering areas of growing sci entific and commercial importance throughout the world. It is estimated that photonic tech nology-related applications to increase exponentially over the next few years and will play a significant role in the global economy by reaching a quarter of a trillion of US dollars by the year 2000. The global interest and advancements of this technology are represented in this book, where leading scientists of twenty-two countries with advanced technology in photon ics present their latest results. The papers selected herein are grouped to address six distinct areas ofphotonic tech nology. The reader will find throughout the book a combination of invited and contributed papers which reflect the state of the art today and provide some insight about the future of this technology. The first two papers are invited. They discuss business aspects ofphotonic engineer ing. One examines if chip-to-chip interconnections by means of optical technology are a good economic choice, while the other discusses the photonic technology from entre preneurial viewpoint. Papers related to materials and considered for photonic applications, e. g.
