Project Management: A Managerial Approach, 4th Edition
by By Meredith, Jack R. and Mantel, Samuel J., Jr.
Category: Business & Economics , Management

A textbook for a course at the advanced undergraduate or graduate level in which scholars of operations management Meredith (Wake Forest U.) and Mantel (U. of Cincinnati) look at project management from the perspective of the larger discipline of management, rather than the more usual cookbook, treatise on special areas, or collection of loosely associated articles. The material should be suitable for classes on managing service, product, or engineering projects, and in this addition is augmented to include managing information system projects. It also extends the treatment of scheduling, earned value analysis, and risk management, and emphasizes more strongly the sources of conflict in projects. No dates are cited for earlier editions.  The disks supply a trial version of project software. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
