Project Management: A Managerial Approach - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

A unique text that addresses the basic nature of managing projects and the advantages and disadvantages of project management, this volume not only covers the issues of selecting projects, initiating them, and operating and controlling them, but also discusses the demands made on the project manager and the nature of the manager's interaction with the rest of the parent organization. The text features a natural, lifecycle approach spanning project planning to implementation to termination, thereby allowing students to study project management topics in a logical sequence from start to finish, with a managerial emphasis. It also focuses on the manager, rather than the engineer, with discussions of the organizational and behavioral aspects of project management, as well as issues of scheduling and reporting. This is a unique text - no other text gives an overview of project management or is designed specifically for teaching this subject. The previous edition of this book was published in 1984.
