Some management principles of the key project elements, including time, cost, quality and risk in general construction projects are firstly examined. Also, the specific management approaches in developed countries and China are highlighted and thoroughly compared. / Based on the findings from literature review, the practical management features of the key project elements and project management techniques applications in Chinese construction industry are further investigated through case studies and a questionnaire survey. / The findings of this research indicate that Chinese construction project management approach is still not mature enough and the shortcomings of current Chinese construction project management practices are included in this research. The recommendations for improvement are accordingly given. / Thesis (MProjectManagement)--University of South Australia, 2004.
