Описание:
In this unique and comprehensive textbook, the authors examine the challenges faced all around the world with regard to major infrastructure project management, and they champion a fresh approach that takes into account the interdependencies between economic, social, political, technological and legislative environments. Managing, developing and investing in crucial infrastructure is essential to keep up with the challenges of a fast-paced and globalised world, but affecting and overseeing change requires a deep understanding of complex interlocking systems. To this end the book is neatly divided into three key parts: project appraisal, maximising integrated supply chains, and implementing value-enhancing practices.
This is the ideal companion for courses on any aspect of civil engineering and construction project management including modules in infrastructure planning, infrastructure management, construction management and business management. The book will also appeal to practitioners involved in the management of capital and infrastructure projects.

Описание: Geleitwort Bis zum Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts galt der Automobilvertrieb in Europa als ein Musterbeispiel f r herstellergesteuerte Vertikale Marketing-Systeme. Er war traditionell durch indirekten Absatz auf der Basis langfristig angelegter enger vertraglicher Bindungen zwischen Hersteller und Absatzmittler charakterisiert. Ver nderte rechtliche Rahmenbedingungen, gepr gt z.B. durch die 2002 in Kraft getretene Gruppenfreistellungsverordnung (GVO) 1400, steigender Wettbewerb und insbesondere ein ver ndertes, zunehmend markenilloyales Verhalten der Kunden, bewirken jedoch seit einiger Zeit einen grundlegenden Strukturwandel im europ ischen Automobilvertrieb. Es entwickeln sich neue Absatzkan le und -formen, zugleich nutzen Automobilhersteller das Marketing und den Vertrieb immer st rker zur Wettbewerbsdifferenzierung. In zunehmendem Ma e sehen sie sich auch der neuen Herausforderung des Multikanal-Managements gegen ber. Vor diesem Hintergrund verfolgt Alexander Graf in seiner Untersuchung das Ziel, jene neuen Gesch ftsmodelle im Vertrieb zu identifizieren, die sich im Strukturwandel bereits herausgebildet haben, sowie jene zu charakterisieren, die f r die Distribution zuk nftig von gr erer Bedeutung sein werden. Mit Hilfe einer zweistufigen, europaweit angelegten Expertenbefragung nach dem Muster der Delphi-Methode untersucht er die zu erwartenden Rahmenbedingungen der Automobildistribution und die k nftige Bedeutung der einzelnen Gesch ftsmodelle im Vertrieb. Ein zentrales Ergebnis bildet die nach Expertenurteil wachsende Relevanz des Multikanal-Managements im europ ischen Automobilvertrieb.

Описание:
This book provides a framework for governing policy implementation by various stakeholders during the delivery of infrastructure projects. This framework relies on the tenets of the Viable Systems Model (VSM), a systems cybernetic model that enjoys a high level of acceptance in organizational analysis. The book presents a step-by-step guide for the multi-level governance of implementation during project delivery. Although the book focuses on the context of local content development policy and construction projects (infrastructure), it is presented in a manner that allows it to be adapted to other policies and sectors.
The book includes a step-by-step methodology for assessing policy implementation in project or policy delivery systems. In addition, it shares insights into the probable challenges faced by the actors within the delivery system in achieving optimal implementation performance. Critical success factors are also highlighted, and illustrative diagrams of the framework are provided to facilitate understanding.
The book is logically structured and presented in a straightforward manner. Also, the transposition of the VSM from a conventional organizational context to a multi-organizational context will appeal to readers with a background in systems thinking, monitoring or evaluation.

Описание: This book offers a broad overview of asset management processes for different utilities, with a special emphasis on energy and water. It provides readers with important practical considerations concerning the development of new competitive structures and procedures for guaranteeing a sufficient supply of energy and water in a regulated environment, using clearly defined technical and economic cornerstones. On the one hand, asset owners expect suitable interests from their investment and business growth; on the other hand, regulators focus more on a reliable and cost-effective customer supply. This book shows how to take into consideration these different perspectives in the process of designing new structures, and how to guarantee organizational transparency. It describes essential principles and boundary conditions for ensuring the optimal use of resources in a network, covering issues relating to equipment service life, IT landscape and computer programs, operational costs management, and investment and maintenance strategies, highlighting their impact on the organization of the company. This thoroughly revised and updated second edition, includes extensive information about IEC standard (IEC/TS 63060), and cover operation research methods focusing on the optimization of the maintenance tasks. Furthermore, a discussion on the political environment has been included, with a special emphasis on the European situation and the “Green Deal”: specifically, some measures to cope with the topic of energy transition are presented. Last, but not least, a brand-new chapter on condition assessment has been included.

Описание:
Professional services firms play a vital role in the social, environmental and economic well-being of any economy. This book considers the key skills and elements required to successfully lead and manage a professional services firm operating in the infrastructure sector. Public- and private-sector clients recognise the role that infrastructure plays in the functionality of our cities and that most urban conurbations have a backlog of infrastructure to deliver to meet the needs of increasing populations, greater urbanisation and emerging economies. Just keeping pace with projected global GDP growth will require an enormous investment in infrastructure and skilful leadership to deliver it.
In response to this challenge, professional services firms will need to be well-led and well-managed to be successful and sustainable in the long-term. Such organisations must provide high-value advice, design, knowledge and innovations to get more out of the existing assets and to plan and design new assets with greater integrity and construct them more productively, efficiently and effectively. This book provides practical frameworks for emerging operational managers and future project leaders to prepare them to successfully manage these firms and deliver such projects in the face of new and often disruptive technologies and shifting corporate landscapes.
The book is essential reading for aspiring leaders operating in all infrastructure market sectors including energy, water, sewerage, road, rail, ports, airports, education, health, justice, retail, entertainment, property and development sectors.
