Stager, D K (1996) Organizing and managing a finance-design-build project in Turkey: Fourth Roebling lecture, 1995. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 122(3), pp. 199-211. ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
It has been estimated that an expenditure of $200 billion per year must be made on the world's infrastructure for the foreseeable future. This will lead to many opportunities for U.S. contractors to work internationally. Much of the work is located in emerging countries that do not have the money available to finance the projects that they need. The subject of this lecture is the Izmir-Aydin Project in Turkey, which began as a fixed-price, finance, design-build job. The project is very interesting, and shows the many problems that may be faced during the execution of an international contract, including lack of payment, ignoring contract provisions, changes in government, and politics in general.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
