Week 6: About the Book Review
Title: Managing Projects Large and Small
The Fundamental Skills for Delivering on Budget and on Time
Harvard Business School Press; Boston, Massachusetts
The Author: Richard Luecke
He is the writer of this and several other books in the Harvard Business Esentials series. He has authored or developed more than 30 books and dozens of articles on a wide of business subjects.
The Subject Adviser: Robert D. Austin
He is a member of the technology and Operations Management faculty at the Harvard Business School. His research focuses on management of nonrepetitive, knowledge-intensive activities and on information technology management.
Why I choose this book?
I looked for a needle in a bottle of hay. After a long searching, I focussed on 6 books about "project management", which is an interesting and useful topic for me. I am going to read all these six books, because they are all very good.
As for the book review, I hesitated over the choice between two books: one is "Managing Projects Large and Small", and the other is "Complex IT Project Management: 16 Steps to Success". Finally I decided to review the former first, because it is the most essential among the six books. This book includes almost all fundamentals about project management. I think that only after reading this book, I will be able to understand the others better. It is not only like a textbook or introduction--concise, accurate and vivid, but also like a manual of PM.
The other book--"Complex IT Project Management: 16 Steps to Success" is also very good. I plan to write a review on it next week, on my blog. :)
