The Oxford Handbook of Project Management presents and discusses
leading ideas in the management of projects. Positioning project
management as a domain much broader and more strategic than simply
'execution management', this Handbook draws on the insights of over
40 scholars to chart the development of the subject over the last
50 years or more as an area of increasing practical and academic
interest. It suggests we could be entering an emerging 'third wave'
of analysis and interpretation following its early technical and
operational beginnings and the subsequent shift to a focus on
projects and their management.
Topics dealt with include: the historical evolution of the subject;
its theoretical base; professionalism; business and societal
context; strategy; organization; governance; innovation; overruns;
risk; information management; procurement; relationships and trust;
knowledge management; practice and teams. This handbook is of
particular relevance to those interested in the research issues
underlying project management.
Now in a fully revised and expanded second edition, this widely
adopted text and practical reference addresses all aspects of
developing and using geographic information systems (GIS) within an
organization. Coverage includes the role of the GIS professional,
how geographic information fits into broader management information
systems, the use of GIS in strategic planning, and ways to navigate
the organizational processes that support or inhibit the success of
GIS implementation. All chapters retained from the prior edition
have been thoroughly updated to reflect significant technological,
empirical, and conceptual advances, as well as the changing
contexts of GIS use. New chapters discuss organizational politics,
metadata, legal issues, and GIS ethics.
