Mahalo for your wonderful sharing.  Finance has expanded its reach considerably, just as accounting has into management consulting a la McKinsey and Booz.  After Wharton and Lauder Institute in Philly, I headed to INSEAD and then Oxford before helping conceive the new Germany constitution joining both Germanys after the iron curtain fell, and France's ministry of economie and its L'ecole du Mines.  "Project finance" was yet a developing discipline underlying my treatise on "contract partnering" meant for private-to-govt-to-private contracting, as distinguished from conventional general contracting (adversarial legal system).  I applied this model of project finance winning the RJR Nabisco takeover in 1988, and then in M&A compiling the nation's 6th largest outdoor ad company within 3 months before coming back home to create the winning contract for the historic Navy Kahoolawe Island Remediation Contract.  I've never yet seen local competence for managing 10+ figure projects.
