Handbook of Project-based Management: Improving the Process for Achieving Strategic Objectives (Henley Management)

In the competitive environment of the 1990s, organizations must now be flexible to respond quickly and efficiently to changing circumstances. This requires for the general manager to be able to manage change through projects in order to achieve their organization's corporate strategy. The management of projects has therefore become a skill which the general manager requires in his portfolio of skills. Managing Change Through Projects is an invaluable guide on project management for managers and to achieving defined business objectives which cannot be reached by routine or repetitive methods.
