Strategic Issues in Development Management: Learning from Successful Experiences

The experiences of eleven successful development projects from six different countries are summarised and discussed. The management aspects of non‐commercial development projects are studied to identify the features which contribute to their success and which could be incorporated in the design of future projects and the training of project managers. A mixture of government and non‐government projects are studied, highlighting the increasing role of the latter in development activities. Areas for further research are noted.
