'The case studies are excellent and realistic - they reinforce the content of the book extremely wellThis relates to the holistic and integrated approach that pitches PM as an effective discipline at the strategic levels of organisational effectiveness. It integrates classical PM concepts into the reality of today's world of management and takes the debate to new levels of insight and relevance.' Graeme Cocks, Principle Fellow - Strategic& Operations Management, Melbourne Business School, Australia. 'An interesting approach to project management, clear and easy to read. This book provides a useful tool for students and academics alike, engaging students and facilitating constructive debate.' Mohamed Salama, Lecturer in Project Management, Heriot Watt University, UK.
