Gower Publishing have launched their latest Handbook in the series – The Handbook of People in Project Management. With three years in the making, over 60 chapters and 44 individual contributors, the new handbook is an eclectic mix which offers something new to the project practitioner.
The handbook’s sections include;
- Management and Organisation
- People In and Around the Project Environment
- Improving Project Teams and Their People
- Developing the Individual
- Project Staffing and HRM Issues
- Advances in People in Project Management Topics
The handbook follows on from the more technical aspects of project and programme management and plugs a much needed gap in current available project management literature.
