Autor E Verzuh
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 12 iun 2003
The Portable MBA in Project Management covers the most pressing topics in project management and features all the leading thinkers in the field. While most project management books address only the techniques for managing individual projects, The Portable MBA in Project Management widens the scope to include insights for managing project–based organizations. In doing so, this comprehensive volume will help managers combine the power of individual project successes to drive the organization to new levels of productivity and customer responsiveness. Eric Verzuh, best selling author of The Fast Forward MBA in Project Management, brings together the leading lights of project management in this volume, including Robert G. Cooper, Randall Englund, Jack Meredith and Neil Whitten. In addition to his role as editor, Verzuh draws on his own expertise to address how and why project management is a strategic strength, how to integrate project management into your enterprise, and several other topics for which he is well–known. Together they effectively address the full spectrum of the issues in project management today.

Descriere

"Unlike most project management books, which focus solely on the nuts and bolts of managing single projects, The Portable MBA in Project Management focuses on the strategy, organization, and processes at work in the three tiers of a successful project–driven organization the project, the program, and the enterprise. By integrating many critical success factors in this comprehensive guide, Eric Verzuh brings a new vision to the art and science of project management."
Chris Capossela, General Manager, Microsoft Project "Verzuh delivers with impact once again. Like his first book, this one is a ‘must have’ for all professionals in project management. Everyone from project managers to CEOs of project–based organizations can’t help but be successful after reading and applying the principles established here. This is truly a significant contribution from a first–rate author."
Ralph Kliem, author of The Project Manager’s Emergency Kit
"Eric Verzuh has produced another solid, readable book. In the tradition of good project management, he has gone ‘cross functional’ and added outside expertise to his own impressive knowledge. Project management is about much more than technical tools, and so this book also explains the proper business approaches to running a project–driven organization."
