About the Book

With project management becoming an increasingly global endeavour, a comprehensive and international student text that reflects this reality is essential.

Köster's International Project Management does just that, systematically linking the key elements of cross-cultural management and the particularities of an international context, with the tools and techniques of project management.

With full pedagogical support including:

  • a wide variety of examples and illustrations, including an in-depth, end-of-chapter case study with case questions;
  • student exercises and review questions;
  • detailed further reading;
  • a companion website, featuring PowerPoint slides, extra cases and indicative answers.

The textbook will be an indispensable resource for all students, both advanced undergraduate and MBA, with a project management element to their studies.

Comments about International Project Management by Professor Kathrin Köster

'This is an extremely useful book for anyone who is involved in international projects. It manages to bring across the complexity of the subject, including the 'soft factors' that are frequently forgotten, in a systematic way which is easy to understand and to implement in business practice. This makes an ideal choice for MBA programs and other professional degrees.'
Prof. Anne-Wil Harzing, Department of Management and Marketing, University of Melbourne

'This book provides a wealth of insights into the organizational, cultural and people aspects of project management. It effectively blends scholarship and practice with chapters offering cutting-edge research, real-life examples and useful project management tools. This volume is of significant value to both scholars and executives alike.'
Günter K. Stahl, Professor of International Management, Vienna University of Economics and Business; Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior, INSEAD.
