This requires people to make contracts so that they know the basis on which they are working with each other and to deal with any disagreements that subsequently arise. So a knowledge of contracting specifically for project management is essential if a project is to avoid difficulties and reach a successful conclusion. This book concentrates specifically on the contracting issues that surround projects of any size. | Contracting for Project Management

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

The growing importance of projects in organizations combined with difficulties in their implementation is accompanied by the need for professional knowledge in the field of project management. It results from the complexity of project management problems and the difficulty of knowledge that must be applied. However surprisingly little is known about this topic especially in the context of European small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises: A European Perspective attempts to fill this specific research gap. The book analyses the process of managing projects being implemented by small and medium-sized firms from Europe identifies organizational processes and verifies which elements of these processes require improvement. It concentrates on issues around the multifaceted characteristics of project management with particular emphasis on the process of managing European small and medium enterprises. The book is the result of many years of empirical research and consists of two main parts: A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy. A systematization of concepts terminology and thus knowledge in the field of project management with particular emphasis on the phases of planning organizing as well as leading and controlling in the project as well as small and medium-sized enterprises with particular emphasis on their specificity and role in the modern European economy Verification and development of such model procedures in the management of projects so that the SME enterprises’ functioning will be efficient and effective. There is a close relationship between the two parts. The theoretical part is the foundation on which practical considerations are later carried out. Integrating theoretical and practical issues the book introduces new content to the literature and has the practical value of indicating how to manage projects in SMEs in the European Union. It also examines the decision-making processes related to project management in these organizations. | Project Management in Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises A European Perspective

Routledge Handbook of Integrated Project Delivery

Routledge Handbook of Integrated Project Delivery

The concept of integrated project delivery (IPD) has evolved as a result of the need for highly expert teams of people to collaborate to deliver extremely complex projects to manage expectations about delivery speed changes in governance standards and to take advantage of and manage expectations raised by rapid advances in technology. All this demands effective change management. This is the first Handbook to contextualise and thematically explore the concept with an emphasis on rigorous practical and theoretical validation. The Handbook is divided into five sections each with a focus on several interconnected themes including: An introduction to IPD concepts. The foundational elements and characteristics of IPD. People culture and collaboration as key ingredients to successful and effective IPD. Technology and process aspects of relational contracting forms such as IPD. New and relevant perspectives to IPD that have received scant attention to date. Aspects and emerging issues that are rarely consciously considered in traditional project delivery due to the commercial imperative that drives firms and client organisations. The Handbook offers both discussions of these key themes and also in-depth research into construction and other industry project procurement and delivery that spans decades. In addition the Handbook presents ‘best’ and ‘better’ practice but also includes insights into cutting-edge experimental developments in technology and practices where proof of concept is currently being developed into emerging practice. Contributing authors in this Handbook collaborate with the co-editors to draw together an integrated set of chapters that align to deliver a coherent narrative of the IPD concept. It is an invaluable reference for practitioners and academics alike and useful as core course content for numerous degree programs of study and professional development courses. | Routledge Handbook of Integrated Project Delivery
