Mckenna A1 Jonathan S. Saiger A1 Himesh Dhungel YR 2000 UL https://pm-research.com/content/6/3/15.abstract AB Project finance appears to lag in adoption of e-commerce techniques. Aside from e-mail, the telephone and in-person meeting still seem to be the primary mechanisms used for communication and deal-doing.
