While much has been published on project management (PM) and asset management (AM) in matured economies, the literature on emerging economies is sparse. Emerging economies can be defined as those countries that have fast-growing, diverse and dynamic economies, and are newly industrialised with a growing population and fast-rising aspirations. These include, but are not limited to, the BRICS countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) and CIVETS countries (Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey and South Africa). This call for papers for this ebook netted 21 papers from Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa and Uganda), Asia (China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam) and South America (Brazil). After subjecting these papers to rigorous double blind reviews, six papers have been selected for publication in the ebook. These are research studies carried out in nine different countries: India, China, Indonesia, Pakistan, Vietnam, Brazil, Ghana, Sri Lanka, and Malaysia. Several key issues have been discussed in those papers, such as construction industry development, public-private partnerships, value management, trade credit supply, health and safety in maintenance operations, and performance of facility management systems.
