FUNDAMENTAL THEORIES OF MEGA INFRASTRUCTURE CON...

Fundamental Theories of Mega Infrastructure Construction Management: Theoretical Considerations
from Chinese Practices is a collection of decades of research and applications of managing
megaprojects using theories of complex systems and management sciences. It presents basic
(classical) theory of megaproject management and is a showcase of more than 30 years of
research of complex system and management sciences on the theory of megaproject management
resulting from the integrating of theory and practice of megaprojects. The theory and models
have undergone rigorous systematic testing during the management and implementation of
megaprojects in China. Megaprojects are huge undertakings  often in infrastructure (bridges 
tunnels  airports  etc.) that involve huge levels of investment  often take years to complete 
and typically run into delays  cost overruns  and any number of unforeseen problems. Over the
last few decades  no one country has undertaken more of these projects than China  and this
book presents the fundamental theories underlying the practice of Mega Infrastructure
Construction Management as practiced in China. Individual chapters provide a basic definition
of Mega Infrastructure Construction and it's management  an overview of the theories behind it
the Formation Path  basic concepts  fundamental principles  scientific problems  the Method
System of Meta-synthesis  specialized methods in research  and intelligent management of Mega
Infrastructure Construction. Although the theoretical construction management problems in this
book are derived from construction practices in China  they can be applied universally and
extended for great fundamental significance.
