Synopsis
Cutting-edge reading for academics, students and professionals interested in project management. Business activities today are often project-based and it is vital to know how to manage complex products and systems (CoPS). Firms managing projects can coordinate with customers and suppliers, while their own organization becomes less bureaucratic, more fluid and adaptable. Uniquely the book shows how projects enable strategy, innovation, capability building and organisational renewal in leading businesses. Resource-based theory is extended to look at high-value capital goods projects with examples from telecommunications, medical, and engineering contexts.
