Working as a team (small group no more than 5) select a type of project from the list below. Carry out a literature research on this topic using a variety of methods to source your material. (The Academic Support Centre can help you with this). Aspects which you should investigate are:




Petronas twin towers (my selected project)


1.Geographical background i.e. countries and locations
 2.Historical background, current typical scale and cost.
3.Structure of project management, prime and sub-contracting. 4.Methods of project planning


5.Methods of project control


6.Financial, legal or international implications comment on

7.Elements of success or lack of it identified.


8.PESTLE (Political, Environmental, Social, Technological, Legal and Economic) issues


Your team should choose a project type from the following list of ten. Each team must select a different project. Other types not listed may (exceptionally) be considered if agreed by your lecturer.


There should be a clear ‘division of labour’ within your team, agreed at the outset and evident in the way the review is presented. Periodic team meetings should be organised to exchange and review your findings and, latterly to put together your joint presentation. Equal marks will be awarded to all team members provided there are no attendance issues.


The team presentation will be of 15 minutes duration. Each team member should present a part of this, as agreed beforehand by the team members. Questions will have to be ‘defended’ after the 15 minutes. One paper copy of the slides should be handed in at the time of the presentation, clearly identifying the team members by name.
