Project Governance: Getting Investments Right

Abstract

The Norwegian Concept Research Programme www.concept.ntnu.no has taken this step to sponsor a book that would provide a resumé of the state of the art in this domain. Leading experts in the field, currently based in the US, UK and Norway although originating from half a dozen or more coun-tries, have all contributed. All are well-respected in the academic environ-ment but their knowledge and experience are grounded in the experience and study of actual projects - and indeed, there are many case-studies used as the bases of the arguments in the book. This is a guide for practitioners, and also for decision-makers and their advisors, and also for postgraduate (at least) students studying how complex projects actually work.
