for project tragic
*Leo Dobes, Economic Record *
The Oxford Handbook of Megaproject Management is an important and
certainly timely book... Professor Flyvbjerg is one of the central
players in this emerging field of research and he has teamed up
with world-leading contributors from a diverse set of scholarly
disciplines and backgrounds to offer a contemporary view of
megaproject management... I am sure that it will be a major
milestone defining research on large-scale projects, which project
scholars and practitioners will reflect upon for many years to
come.
*Jonas Söderlund, Project Management Journal*
Practitioners, planners, policy makers and scholars in the areas of
infrastructure and economic development will find the volume of
considerable value... it makes a major contribution.
*Roger R. Stough, Regional Science Policy & Practice*
A significant contribution... the writing exposition is clear and
efficient which makes the book accessible to a diverse set of
readers inside and outside of the academy... an invaluable handbook
as intended in title and curation.
*Karen Trapenberg Frick, Transport Reviews*
