With project management becoming an increasingly global endeavor, a comprehensive and international student text that reflects this reality is essential.

With full pedagogical support including:

  • A wide variety of examples and illustrations, including an in-depth, end-of-chapter case study with case questions
  • Student exercises and Review Questions
  • Detailed further reading
  • The full support of a companion website, featuring a Teacher's Manual, PowerPoint slides, and SAGE online readings
