ABSTRACT

The success of a construction project, whether it is carried out in the country of the contractor or beyond its borders, is determined in the main by the quality of its management. Projects which are undertaken beyond national borders may create special problems for managers, such as dealing with multi-ethnic work forces, operating within local laws, regulations, and social customs, and importing materials. This increases the pressure upon managers who require particular qualities and understanding in order to achieve their target in the most economical way.
