Strategic Project Organizing

Reviews / Votes

Perhaps the world's premier textbook on project organizing and strategy. If you would like to learn how organizations change through their investment projects and how they change the world we live in, this book is yours. Its focus on three domains and three interfaces of project organizing, and its unique 'project society' approach combine to make it a fascinating, down-to-earth, and useful reading on the art and science of projecting for students. * Lavagnon Ika, University of Ottowa * This book is a must. It takes stock of the strategic, organizational aspects of projects and the leadership required by proposing to look at them under the lens of three domains. It allows students but also practitioners and academics to master these concepts. Brilliantly structured, it offers vignettes and other online resources to deepen these concepts and test your knowledge. I highly recommend it, the book is in itself is an interesting "Voyage of life"! * Nathalie Drouin, Universite du Quebec a Montreal; and University of Technology Sydney * Strategic Project Organizing is a forward-thinking text that progresses our understanding of project management and must be read by students, project owners and suppliers alike. It provides a systemic look at the project profession, offering a new level of maturity that is currently missing from the content of many project management texts which seem to have difficulties moving away from the in-house, manufacturing-led, thinking of the 1950s. This text should be standard reading for any project management Masters course, as well as any modern MBA course that understands the increasing importance of project management." * Nicolas Lambrou, University of Westminster * Strategic Project Organizing offers a unique take and focus on projects which provides a welcome alternative to other textbooks. With research-based insights for different members of project teams, it offers advanced discussion around projects, their role in our current world and the people managing and leading these projects." * Christine Unterhitzenberger, University of Leeds *
