Olson's "Introduction to Project Management, 2/e" is a project management text that focuses on "systems" issues. The primary focus is to examine the many issues facing MIS project managers. The revision also now incorporates the Project Management Institute's Body of Knowledge (PMBOK), better preparing users for the PMI certification exam. Olson focuses on traditional project management topics such as project adoption, planning, scheduling, and implementation while encouraging students to view the projects holistically and analytically. Utilizing the most current software and project management tools, he provides students with the most effective strategies for today's IT project managers.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

Enterprise risk management has always been important. However, the events of the 21st Century have made it even more critical. The top level of business management became suspect after scandals at ENRON, WorldCom, and other business entities. Financially, many firms experienced difficulties from bubbles. The problems of interacting cultures demonstrated risk from terrorism as well, with numerous terrorist attacks, to include 9/11 in the U.S. Risks can arise in many facets of business. Businesses in fact exist to cope with risk in their area of specialization. Financial risk management has focused on banking, accounting, and finance. We have discussed several aspects of risk, to include information systems, disaster management, and supply chain perspectives. The bulk of this book is devoted to presenting a number of operations research models that have been (or could be) applied to enterprise supply risk management, especially from the supply chain perspective.

<p>This book comes at a time when the world is increasingly challenged by different forms of risk and how to manage them.

This book reviews forecasting data mining models, from basic tools for stable data through causal models, to more advanced models using trends and cycles. These models are demonstrated on the basis of business-related data, including stock indices, crude oil prices, and the price of gold. The book’s main approach is above all descriptive, seeking to explain how the methods concretely work; as such, it includes selected citations, but does not go into deep scholarly reference. The data sets and software reviewed were selected for their widespread availability to all readers with internet access.
