Project Management: The Managerial Process

By Clifford F. Gray, Erik W. Larson, Erik Larson

Book Overview

As the market-leading textbook on the subject, Project Management: The Managerial Process is distinguished by its balanced treatment of both the technical and behavioral issues in project management as well as by its coverage of a broad range of industries to which project management principles can be applied. It focuses on how project management is integral to the organization as a whole. The text not only delivers the tools and processes is essential to successful project management but also an understanding that the effectiveness of these tools and methods are shaped and determined by the prevailing culture of the organization and interpersonal dynamics of the people involved. As such, Larson/Gray presents a holistic view that focuses on methodology as well as the human dimension and how they interact to determine the outcome of projects. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need, when they need it, and how they need it, so that your class time is more engaging and effective.

DG's review

If you are in PM, this book is pretty good. Note that the latest edition is about $160.00 and only has cases to differentiate from the edition listed. The text is virtually the same. For someone taking a PM course with the intention to refer back to the material, I feel this book is excellent. If you are indifferent to cost and/or must have the latest, by all means, get the latest issue. The book is well written, the information is substantiated with tangible examples and the language itself is clearly written which makes for a quick read. Thanks, DG

Comprehensive Guide to Project Management

The book is a cheap alternative to other expensive project management book. Good value for your money.

Excellent!

It seems like this textbook has gotten bad phrase and for no good reason. This book is a college level textbook and is perfect in conjuction with appropriate teaching. A person can not simply book pick up this book, skim through a few chapters and expect to understand the management process without being taught by a professor. My advice, go to college and learn the process properly.

Fantastic Resource for a future PMP'er

The book is thorough and current. A great buy.
