Projectmanagement

Projects become increasingly important in the professional and consequently educational arena. However, those involved are not necessarily used to working this way. This book provides a good deal of theory and describes practical approaches. One of the goals of Project Management is to make projects work. Careful preparation is essential, if those involved are not to be working at cross purposes.

(wr)The Dutch version of this book is a bestseller in the Netherlands. With tertiary education rapidly becoming more internationally oriented (as demonstrated by the introduction of bachelor and master degrees), translation of the book into English was deemed necessary.
