Call for Papers on Engineering Management during the Global Recession and Recovery

Abstract

The global financial crisis has had a significant impact on the world’s most powerful economies and is contributing to an international crisis of confidence. Considering the significant role that the construction industry plays in a country’s economy, it is imperative and important to identify the effects and challenges of the global financial crisis on that industry, to evaluate and examine existing engineering management theories and practices during the global recession and recovery, and to explore innovative research directions. The Journal of Management in Engineering is seeking original contributions on this subject with a particular interest in innovative engineering management theories, best practices, and lessons learned from different geographic areas while tackling the global recession. It is expected that the special issue or section will showcase the economic impact and importance of the construction industry from a global perspective and stimulate debate over recovery policies and critical strategies and tactics that engineering and construction firms can use to survive current economic turbulence.
