Project Management

Dennis Lock'smasterly exposition of the principles and practice of projectmanagement has been pre-eminent in its field for four decades. It wasamong the very few early books to treat project managementholistically, rather than as a collection of separate techniques. Itthus explains the entire project management process in great detail,demonstrating techniques ranging from the simplest of charts tosophisticated computer applications. Everything is reinforcedthroughout with case examples and diagrams.The text has beencompletely restructured and largely rewritten for this ninth edition,so that the sequence now follows even more closely the life-cycle ofa typical project from its earliest definition to final close-out.Case examples and diagrams have all been reviewed, updated, augmentedor replaced. Expansion from 25 to 30 chapters has allowed greateremphasis to be given to stakeholders' perceptions of success, theorganization and management of business change projects, people'sroles in project management and the wider business contexts in whichproject management has been adopted.As with previous editions,meticulous care has been taken to ensure that the text style isreader-friendly and free of unnecessary jargon, with clear diagramsand a construction that is logically organized, well indexed andsimple to navigate. The result is certain to maintain the book'sacclaimed status as the standard work for managers and studentsalike.Project Management is the best British textbook on the subject.Students prefer it for its approachable style and it offers excellentvalue for money.
