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