Here is a unique and comprehensive work that goes beyond the project management available in the literature today by demonstrating how project management concepts and techniques can be applied in different political, cultural, and geographical settings.

Written by 48 experts from around the world, the book is divided into seven sections covering: project management as an organizational strategy; cooperative research projects and R&amp;D; international construction projects; the application of project management to R&amp;D and simultaneous engineering; and the provincial nuances of project management techniques and methodologies. In addition, case histories from many different countries provide valuable lessons on the international applications of project management.
