ABSTRACT
When a company decides to expand internationally, its projects usually become international projects. International projects require an extra sphere of management because of logistical challenges, language barriers, cultural differences, and differences in development pathways and regulatory requirements.

It also explores recommended practices for managing international projects, such as setting up the appropriate team structure, being culturally sensitive, and enhancing communications across the international team.7.1 Introduction
