PROJECT MANAGEMENT CASE STUDIES, FOURTH EDITION

Next to on-the-job training, says Kerzner (project management, International Institute for Learning, New York City) perhaps the best way to learn project management are case studies and situations, which are smaller case studies illustrating a point or two. He provides them for graduate or undergraduate students or for professionals preparing for a certification examination. The areas they consider include project management methodologies, negotiating for resources, project scheduling, conflict management, wage and salary administration, and time management.
