Book description
Make more informed project investment decisions by knowing what issues
to examine in the planning process and how to analyze their impacts
Poor or insufficient planning is primarily responsible for the
inordinate number of idle and rusting capital facilities around the
world, with investment decisions often made on the basis of either
intuition or inadequate analysis. Investment Project Design: A

potential investors and other stakeholders to precipitous changes in
the investment milieu as a result of constraints on resources and
infrastructure, economic and political turmoil, and population growth.
