Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement that Bechtel is the world's premier manager of massive construction and engineering projects is true. While Bechtel has had noteworthy projects long before the Kuwaiti oil fields, that statement is not accurate. Bechtel's competitive advantage is not in supply chain management, but rather in project management, engineering, and construction. While Bechtel does have suppliers in the United States, it also has a significant global supply chain network. Therefore, only statement B is true.
