Project management for an international environment

This paper is based on project management experience of various international projects. Most of the projects in principle were thermal power projects. The locations of these projects were in India, Ireland, Italy, the Philippines, Spain, Taiwan and the USA. There were several issues involved in all these projects. However, issues referenced in this paper were relatively critical and have been chosen from different (national) projects. For some issues, the methodology utilized for solving these issues is also discussed. General guidance for managing an international project also forms an integral part of this paper. This guidance, of course, is the knowhow obtained from the experience of several projects. This can be applied to any international project with modifications (if required) depending upon the environment of a given nation
