Managing Projects
deals with all forms of organisational change. It  focuses particularly on project teams, since these play a critical role in implementing such projects effectively. In addition, it is ideally suited to those studying project or change management as part of a qualification, as well as helping those with some responsibility for managing a change project.  The aim throughout is to equip those responsible for building and leading the project team with more confidence and skill in understanding the human aspects of change.
 
This book is suitable for courses in project management at post-experience, MBA and executive MBA level, and for strategic, change, and innovation management courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level.
