Construction Managers in the 21st Century

Managers run companies and projects with the purpose of achieving maximum business results through the direct control of labour performance and the flow of considerable financial resources. Thus educating civil engineers to manage companies and projects successfully is an extremely important task for the development of not only construction industry but country’ s economy as well. Management for engineers is a form of additional education, because it provides knowledge and skills that enable engineers to master business processes more easily, and to adapt to globalisation processes more quickly and painlessly. Analysing management curricula from best universities and schools and comparing the “ knowledge offer“ with professionals “ knowledge needs“ in companies, using questionnaires and field research tools, we have produced an MBA in Construction program at the University of Zagreb. The content, the programme and some dilemmas are presented in this paper.
