The current edition of the Journal of Engineering, Project, and Production Management features three papers from the 8 th International Conference on Engineering, Project, and Production Management (EPPM 2017) which was held at AlZaytoonah University of Jordan in the period September 20- 22, 2017. EPPM 2017 included two distinguished keynote speakers and about 45 papers from international scholars and researchers who submitted peer reviewed articles dealing with issues related to engineering, project and production management. The other two papers deal with management aspects of large infrastructures and productivity improvements. In all, the selected papers in this issue cover the spectrum of the themes of the Journal. This conference presented examples of attempted engagement between researchers and businesses, a challenge which was highlighted by Ahmad et al. (2016) in “Success Factors of Project and Process Management- Lessons Learned from EPPM 2016.” Zarewa1 et al. of Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria present an impact assessment investigation of governance on Large Infrastructure Projects (LIP) Delivery in developing countries. The governance assures proper project planning, execution, and efficiently managed to realize their objectives. This investigation points out success in proper project initiation, budget allocation, proactive risk management and top management support. The authors recommend a governance framework inclusive of guidelines, and stipulations for possible contractual deviations. |
