Drawing on data-driven research and expert insights, it reveals why many megaprojects fail and provides actionable strategies to ensure safety, cost-effectiveness, and timely delivery. Essential reading for professionals aiming to lead successful billion-dollar ventures. ## Description Avoid common pitfalls in large-scale projects using these smart strategies Over half of large-scale engineering and construction projects―off-shore oil platforms, chemical plants, metals processing, dams, and similar projects―have miserably poor results. These include billions of dollars in overruns, long delays in design and construction, and poor operability once finally completed. Industrial Megaprojects gives you a clear, nontechnical understanding of why these major projects get into trouble, and how your company can prevent hazardous and costly errors when undertaking such large technical and management challenges. Clearly explains the underlying causes of over-budget, delayed, and unsafe megaprojects Examines effects of poor project management, destructive team behaviors, weak accountability systems, short-term focus, and lack of investment in technical expertise Author is the CEO of the leading consulting firm for evaluating billion-dollar projects Companies worldwide are rethinking their large-scale projects. Industrial Megaprojects is your essential guide for this rethink, offering the tools and principles that are the true foundation of safe, cost-effective, successful megaprojects. Review: Read it - I am a bit prejudiced having worked at IPA under Mr. Merrow a decade ago, but I can say without reservation that this is a book you must read if you work on major engineering and construction projects of any type. If you are like me, you have seen many academic papers on cost overruns based on nothing but lousy statistics and flimsy hypotheses. Put those aside..This is the real thing. IPA holds the keys to the kingdom of what drives project performance (i.e., true predictive models based on real, deep and clean data) and Mr. Merrow is generous to share much of what IPA has learned with everyone without pulling punches (but guarding the client's data). I don't agree with every word (e.g., when it says monte-carlo method it is really about the "line-item ranging" method MCS is applied to) but there is little arguing with the general conclusions and recommendations. If only public infrastructure projects would benchmark like the process industries have-maybe that's the next book. Review: Fantastic reference material. - It has lots of useful tips for those wanting to achieve maturity on the subject. ## Features - manufacturer: John Wiley & Sons Inc - Item Trademark: WILEY - material: Cellulose-based or similar non-woven material ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #157,228 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #158 in Business Production & Operations #345 in Project Management #15,391 in Higher & Continuing Education Textbooks | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 78 Reviews | ## Images ![WILEY Industrial Megaprojects: Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KR9xtR35L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read it *by J***N on 12 June 2016* I am a bit prejudiced having worked at IPA under Mr. Merrow a decade ago, but I can say without reservation that this is a book you must read if you work on major engineering and construction projects of any type.

I have been working on oil and ... *by D***E on 8 October 2014* Great book. I have been working on oil and gas megaprojects for a few years now, and can recognise the mistakes and successes described in this book - it's like reading a project history, and quite spooky... It's also taught me why management and Clients make some decisions that us engineers and contractors find utterly baffling (though they may not be the right ones). If you want to learn the inner workings of megaproject management, this is a great book to start with - whether you've been working on them for years, or are just setting out. ## Frequently Bought Together - Industrial Megaprojects: Concepts, Strategies, and Practices for Success - Contract Strategies for Major Projects: Mastering the Most Difficult Element of Project Management - Leading Complex Projects: A Data-Driven Approach to Mastering the Human Side of Project Management --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/314885955-wiley-industrial-megaprojects-concepts-strategies-and-practices-for-success](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/314885955-wiley-industrial-megaprojects-concepts-strategies-and-practices-for-success) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
