Synopsis
Praise For Investment Project Design "The subtitle of this comprehensive guide could be 'How to Avoid White Elephants'. It is a complete guide for how to develop a proposal for a successful project including case studies and detailed notes and references to additional information."—Robert Youker, instructor (retired), World Bank Institute "This book is a comprehensive treatise on most aspects of project design, analysis, and implementation. Using numeric formulations to explain basic concepts is its unique feature. And as a teacher of 'project finance,' I find the bullet point format, which can easily be transformed into a slide presentation format, a very interesting approach."—Gopi N. Puri, former senior technical manager, Inteational Finance Corporation, World Bank; retired project finance teacher; freelance consultant "Limited investment resources constitute the key issue in development. Unfortunately, history has shown that a considerable part of them is wasted; one of the reasons is faulty design of individual projects. This book sets out to correct all the common mistakes, and it succeeds admirably. This concise and thorough guide is the best treatment of the subject available today—both beginners and experienced practitioners will profit especially from case studies drawn from the Author: s' long careers in the field."—Kazimierz Laski, Emeritus Professor of Economics, Johannes Kepler University of Linz Your road map to a successful project plan—and a sound investment decision Investment Project Design charts a path for navigating through the hazardous road to success faced Author: private and public investors and their collaborators in formulating and deciding whether or not to go ahead with their investment projects.
