Derived from research conducted at Templeton College, Oxford, this book charts the history of eight major UK/European projects undertaken in the past few decades. Its scope is broad, presenting a critical analysis of many sectors of industry, and offering senior managers a sophisticated view of project management in terms of technology, policy, government and the community. In particular, the book provides a rare insight into the complex issues of risk, contrasting strategy and multi- organization management.
