It is also suitable for postgraduate students (as a bridging course) who know construction technology well but are less familiar with financial management. Readers, after studying this book, will have a very good understanding on income statement, balance sheet, NPV (net present value), IRR (internal rate of return), and so on. They will be able to analyze the financial statements of a company and perform the financial analysis of a project proposal. Other related topics such as break-even analysis, S-Curve and working capital financing of a project are also discussed in this book.

He also substantiated the discovery of this fundamental difference between NPV and IRR with mathematical proof, published in the international journal “The Engineering Economist” in 2003. Dr. Tang is currently an Independent Engineering Consultant. Before that, he was an Adjunct Professor of City University of Hong Kong (2011-2015) and of University of Macau (2016-2019).
