Features: This book approaches the management of World Expos from three perspectives—public management, construction management, and financial management—providing an objective description and discussion of the management issues involved. It is based on a research project jointly supported by the World Expo Research Center of Tongji University and the Architectural Design Research Center of Tongji University, and was compiled and co-authored by You Jianxin, Ding Jiemin, and Chen Xun. The first part of the book presents the management issues of World Expos from the perspective of government public management, offering a macro-level analysis. It argues that the management of World Expos is fundamentally the management of public service projects and explores the performance goals and evaluation feedback systems for such projects. The second part discusses the collaboration issues of the Shanghai World Expo engineering projects from the field of public construction project management.
