Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This seventh edition updates the classic reference on project management theory and techniques within today's changing marketplace. A wealth of knowledge is put into this practical study guide that managers can rely on. Readers can prepare for the Project Management Professional (PMP "RM" ) Certification Exam with sample questions reflective of those on the actual test, learn from the successes and failures of leading companies, explore new cost-control and risk-management techniques with effective project planning, master the resolution of conflicts, and gain skill at predicting project success. Broad in scope, yet packed with invaluable details which makes this a treasured resource for the novice to the most veteran project managers. Selected as a suggested resource for CAQ "RM" Capital Projects exam preparation.

Book News Annotation:

This text for undergraduate and graduate courses in business and engineering covers basic principles and concepts of project management in depth, with 46 case studies and many sample problems across a range of industries. The structure of the text reflects the importance of behavioral rather than quantitative aspects of project management. Early chapters present core topics and deal with support functions and executive involvement. Later chapters look at quantitative issues such as planning and cost control, and cover more advanced topics such as managing cultural differences, quality management, concurrent engineering, and contracts and procurement. Kerzner teaches systems management at Baldwin-Wallace College.
