Leo Dobes, Economic Record
The Oxford Handbook of Megaproject Management edited by Bent Flyvbjerg is an important and certainly timely book. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in megaprojects-policy makers, practitioners, consultants, and scholars. It is a must-read for master and doctoral students in large-scale project management, and 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.
