| Abstract: | Characteristics of transnational projects are outlined and their environment reviewed with a view to highlighting those external variables that affect managerial functions in such projects. Reference is made to the published experiences on some macroprojects executed in various parts of the world. It is concluded that the know-how in this field is at best sketchy and unrelated to the actual managerial needs. Many of the present techniques and associated infrastructures are inadequate for handling transnational projects. Specifically, the techniques for the estimation of resources and costs, for the handling of information requirements and for financial transactions are substantially underdeveloped and unreliable. |
