基本説明

Today's paradox is that we know a lot about how to manage a project - but not enough to ensure that the right project concept is chosen. This book provides some insight into how bad ideas can be avoided and good ideas developed into successful projects.

Full Description

Focusing on turning an initial idea into a project with a successful outcome, this book fills a gap in current literature on project management and is thoroughly grounded in the latest research in this field. It emphasizes the practical application of decision making based on qualitative and judgmental information.
