Features: This book is a revised edition based on the 2000 version of "International Engineering Contracting" and is recommended as a teaching material by the Guidance Committee for Engineering Management in Higher Education. It introduces concepts related to international engineering, analyzes and prospects the market trends in international engineering, and presents the training models for international engineering talents, as well as internationally recognized tendering procedures, contract models, and bidding processes and techniques for international engineering. The book provides a detailed discussion on how to prepare bid quotations for international engineering projects, along with several case studies. It also thoroughly covers the management of international engineering project construction phases, including the procedures of construction management, organizational forms of project management teams, human resource management, the development and control of various planning management systems; project fund management for contractors; material and equipment management; information document management and communication; project culture construction in international engineering construction, as well as the crisis management mechanisms for projects. Additionally, it provides detailed insights into the organization and management of general contractors, as well as the selection of subcontractors and the management of subcontract contracts. The book discusses the claims management of international engineering projects, including the concepts, types, and commonly used quantitative calculation models for claims, and introduces new approaches to establishing a claims expert system model. All authors of this book have practical experience in international engineering contracting overseas. The content of the entire book is closely aligned with the previously published "International Engineering Contract Management," offering rich and detailed material that balances theoretical knowledge with practical application. In the new context where industries across China are actively expanding into international markets, this book can serve as a professional textbook for "Engineering Management" programs in higher education institutions. It is also fully suitable as a teaching material for related courses in other "Engineering" disciplines (such as civil engineering, water conservancy, road and bridge, railway, power, petroleum, chemical engineering, telecommunications, mining, and metallurgy, etc.), broadening students' perspectives and equipping them with foundational knowledge for engaging in international engineering contracting. Furthermore, it can be used as a reference for employees in foreign companies, engineering firms, consulting companies, as well as related financial, material, and legal professionals for their work.
