| Abstract
|
:
|
Drawing on more than twenty-five years experience consulting and training on project management in companies such as NCR, AT & T, and 3M, J. Davidson Frame updates and expands what he introduced in the first edition of The New Project Management in 1994 - a set of core competencies for managerial success in a corporate climate where downsizing, outsourcing, and employee empowerment are a way of life. This new edition focuses on the hottest areas in project management today - augmenting and expanding the existing coverage of risk management and estimating, and including three all-new chapters on.
