The book provides readers with an understanding of the roots of project management in complexity theory and the human sciences. It explores seven principles of complexity theory and applies them to project management; examining project needs and features in terms of success parameters, team and stakeholders’ perspectives, the project manager’s perspective, and the perspectives of theory and practice.
- Explores a new humanistic paradigm in thinking about projects and project management
- Illustrates the culture and philosophy of projects from a range of perspectives
- Outlines an interdisciplinary approach to Project Management that integrates scientific and humanistic disciplines
The contributors examine cutting-edge organizational models from management research and military leadership and map them to project management.

The book describes a paradigm that is complementary to traditional project management and also provides you with the philosophical, general management, and complexity theory findings needed to lead successful projects in complex environments.
