Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The revised edition of the single-best source of project management case studies

Project Management Case Studies, Second Edition presents the most comprehensive collection of project management case studies available today. Compiled by Harold Kerzner, the leading authority on project management, it offers more than ninety case studies that illustrate both successful implementation of project management by actual companies and pitfalls to avoid in a variety of real-world situations.

Now with twenty-five new case studies, this new edition:

  • Represents a wide range of industries, including medical and pharmaceutical, aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, finance and banking, and telecommunications
  • Covers cutting-edge areas of construction and international project management
  • Presents best practices and pitfalls of project management implementation in the real world
  • Follows and supports preparation for the Project Management Professional (PMP®) Certification Exam

Whether used with the latest edition of Harold Kerzner's landmark reference, Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling, or on its own, Project Management Case Studies, Second Edition is a valuable resource for students, as well as practicing engineers and managers.

Project Management Workbook and PMP(r)/CAPM(r) Exam Study Guide, Ninth Edition (0-471-76076-5)

Synopsis:

This case studies book was strategically planned in order to 1) pull cases from the main volume in order to reduce its overall size, 2) package all case studies in one book to be used in college or professional training courses. Based on user feedback, for this Second Edition we have added a number of new cases covering construction and international project management. Total number of cases equals 94, with 25 new to this edition.
