Synopsis:
For this fourth edition of a guide for those involved in project work, Harrison, a project management consultant, and Lock, a project management writer and lecturer, add new material on areas such as procurement and the supply chain, concurrent engineering, quality management, resource scheduling, and risk management, to reflect changes in project management in the 10 years since the previous edition was published. Bridging the gap between introductory texts and specialist works on professional practice, the book will be useful as a guide for managers, engineers, and accountants involved in project work, and as a reference for advanced students of project and construction management. The book is distributed by Ashgate. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews)
