Project Management for Business and Engineering, Second Edition: Principles and Practice
Product Review "This is a valuable book at a very keen price It should find a place among students taking higher degrees where project management is the principal subject. University lecturers on all postgraduate management programmes will welcome the huge fund of case studies that can be extracted and used for group debates and coursework assignments." -Dennis Lock, International Journal of Project Management (2005) Book Description Comprehensive and balanced systems approach to project management Reader Reviews The business operating environment in most industries worldwide is fiercely competitive with rapid changes and developments in technology, which have impacted on the conduct of projects. New challenges are constantly arising which require unique, innovative and creative solutions to meet the dynamic needs of consumers and customers for high quality goods and services. To meet these needs, organizations find it necessary to organize the workforce into productive project teams with combined expertise from several functional areas. The book equips the reader with project management skills to raise significantly the probability of success with our projects. The book is about managing business and engineering projects which enables technical specialists such as architects, quantity surveyors, engineers, systems analysts and chemists to not only understand the technical aspects of projects but also the critical relevant business and management topics. People with business training background also benefit from understanding and appreciating the technical aspects of projects. The book is suitable for practicing managers in business and engineering as well as people doing project management at an advanced level (such as at university level). The book focuses on practical application of project management concepts and the successful implementation of projects. The book covers both the broad aspects of project management as well as the practical aspects. Among the topics covered are PERT/CPM, scheduling, budgeting and control, systems and procedures for project planning as well as organizational and human side of projects. Among the critical aspects in managing projects are good communication, trust, teamwork, effective conflict management and managing emotional stress. I found this book very comprehensive in its treatment of project management and I recommend it to those wishing to study this interested subject at an advanced level. Comment | | (Report this)
