Performance management is key to the ongoing success of any
organisation, allowing it to meet its strategic objectives by
designing and implementing management control systems. This book
goes beyond the usual discussion of performance management in
accounting and finance, to consider strategic management, human
behaviour and performance management in different countries and
contexts. With a global mix of world-renowned researchers, this
book systematically covers the what, the who, the where and the why
of performance management and control (PMC) systems. A
comprehensive, state-of-the-art collection edited by a leading
expert in the field, this book is a vital resource for all
scholars, students and researchers with an interest in business,
management and accounting.
Success in business depends on two broad management skills: 'doing
the right thing' (choosing the right projects) and 'doing things
right' (good project management). This book examines the challenges
that managers face in assessing the likely risks and benefits that
need to be taken into account when choosing projects. It then
explores the strategic level risks that will need to be dealt with
in managing those projects and suggests risk management strategies.
In so doing, it makes a rare but important link between strategic
level appraisal of project opportunities and project risk
management. Many projects have similar characteristics that are
common to a number of projects experienced by the same or other
organizations. Elaine Harris shows how the use of a project
typology can guide project risk management by identifying common
risks shared by projects of each type. Her cutting edge research
will help advanced project practitioners and researchers in
projects and risk management to develop a risk management strategy
that is better suited to the context of their projects and one that
is flexible enough to develop and adapt once the project decision
has been taken and the real-world of project management and
delivery begins.

In recent years there has been a welcome shift in the way we think
and talk about midlife. Conversations around menopause and ageing
are no longer taboo, and women are embracing a more positive
approach to this phase of their lives and demanding a more informed
transition. This empowering book will guide women on a deep dive
inward to live their best midlife, awakening to what they can gain
as they age rather than what they lose. With sections on the
physical body, movement, energy, mental wellbeing, inner power,
spiritual connections, creative expression and courage, Elaine
Harris encourages us to rediscover the things that give our life
meaning and purpose, and to proudly and confidently own the wisdom
we gain in our middle years.
