Preface

With the all-round, rapid and healthy development of China's economy and society,the construction of engineering projects has entered a new stage of rapid development.Large and extra large-scale engineering projects emerge in an endless stream. Engineering project management, an old and young discipline, is full of vitality.

Engineering project management is a new subject which studies the objective laws,management theories and management methods of the whole process of engineering project construction. It is the integration of management science, engineering technology,engineering economy, construction laws and regulations and many other subject theories and knowledge. The purpose of its research is to achieve the best effect in the production and use function, cost, progress, quality and other aspects of the project, give full play to the benefit of investment as soon as possible, and realize the maximization of the comprehensive benefit of the project.

In the trend of economic globalization and industrial internationalization, with the continuous promotion of industrialization and new urbanization, the construction of modern engineering projects is developing in the direction of scale and high-tech construction technology. Faced with the huge cost of engineering projects, and the diversification of investment subjects and financing channels, the government, enterprise organizations or individual investors often face the decision-making problems of the investment and construction of engineering project .How to realize the optimal allocation of project resources and the objectives of the project investment has become one of the main issues for investors to consider. Therefore, using the knowledge of engineering economics to solve the decision-making problems in the construction of engineering projects is to meet the objective requirements of scientific investment decision-making.

前 言

随着我国经济及社会的全面、快速、健康地发展，工程项目建设也进入了快速发展的新阶段，大型、特大型工程项目层出不穷，工程项目管理这一古老又年轻的学科，正焕发出勃勃生机。

工程项目管理是研究工程项目建设全过程客观规律、管理理论和管理方法的一门新兴学科，是管理科学、工程技术、工程经济、建设法规等众多学科理论与知识的集成，其研究目的是使工程项目在生产使用功能、费用、进度、质量及其他方面均取得最佳效果，尽快发挥投资效益，实现项目综合效益最大化。

在经济全球一体化、产业国际化的趋势下，伴随工业化和新型城镇化建设的持续推进，现代工程项目建设正向着规模化、建筑技术高科技化的方向发展。面对工程项目耗资巨大、投资主体和融资渠道的多元化，政府、企业组织或个人投资者经常会面临着工程项目投资和建设的决策问题，如何实现工程项目资源的优化配置和项目投资目标已成为投资者考虑的主要问题之一。因此，运用工程经济学的知识来解决工程项目建设中的决策问题是适应现代投资决策科学化的客观要求。
