More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Dennis Lock's masterly exposition of the principles and practice of project management has been preeminent in its field for four decades. It was among the very few early books to treat project management holistically, rather than as a collection of separate techniques. It thus explains the entire project management process in great detail, demonstrating techniques ranging from the simplest of charts to sophisticated computer applications. Everything is reinforced throughout with case examples and diagrams. The text has been completely restructured and largely rewritten for this ninth edition, so that the sequence now follows even more closely the life-cycle of a typical project from its earliest definition to final close-out. Case examples and diagrams have all been reviewed, updated, augmented or replaced. Expansion from 25 to 30 chapters has allowed greater emphasis to be given to stakeholders' perceptions of success, the organization and management of business change projects, people's roles in project management and the wider business contexts in which project management has been adopted. As with previous editions, meticulous care has been taken to ensure that the text style is reader-friendly and free of unnecessary jargon, with clear diagrams and a construction that is logically organized, well indexed and simple to navigate. The result is certain to maintain the book's acclaimed status as the standard work for managers and students alike.

To be honest I have bought about three books based on project management and this book is out of this world. It covered everything I needed to know for my second year at university. This book's diversity would help anyone who is studying or even planning on starting a project. This book is a must buy, I have already recommended it to seven people!!

I required a book on project management for my university course and was told about this book by my tutor, this is by far the best book I have looked at on this subject, with its clear style of writing, ample pictures and diagrams to help with explanations, a must for anyone studying or practising project management.
