Course Objectives:	Large scale projects are different in structure. This course main objective is the delivery of the know-how on design, implimantation, finans, follow up and legal issues of a large scale project. Any necessary application will be done telecom projects taken as an example. Lecturers will deliver the material blended with real world application experiences. Hence, the students will be exposed to the problems, solutions and processes of large scale project management in a E2E frame. This would be specially crucial in the sense that the legal, risk management and exit strategies of these projects show great difference than other smaller scale projects

Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) will gain knowledge on E2E project concept
2) learn the differences between large and smaller scale projects
3) gain the insight to ask the appropriate question at the prelaunch stage
4) gain knowledge on the bid stage negotiations
5) get practical information on how to prepare a project contract from financial, legal, and procedural perspectives
6) learn the fundamentals of risk management and operational risk management
7) how the telecommunications sector large scale projects differ
8) get familiar with the procedures of roll-out, delivery, and support

Course Content

The course will start with presenting the strucutre, nature and history of telecommunicaitons sector. Following how large scale projects are structured based on the customers needs, how these needs could be understood would be covered. Later the proposal stage will be studied. Here, the legal, financial, risk management issues would be highlighted. At teh implimentation stage a telecommunication project will be taken as example. Sustainability of the whole process. The course will conclude with roll-out and delivery of the final project and folow up processes
