International Project Management
- Kathrin Köster - Heilbronn University, Germany
With project management becoming an increasingly global endeavor, a comprehensive and international student text that reflects this reality is essential.
International Project Management does just that, systematically linking the key elements of cross-cultural management and the particularities of an international context, with the tools and techniques of project management.
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
The textbook will be an indispensable resource for all students, both undergraduate and MBA, with a project management element to their studies.
