Project Management; Theory and Practice from Different Countries is a reference book. It is aimed at Universities having future engineers and managers who wish to understand concept of project management for the purpose of using it in professional practice. it pervades the activities of every project. In fact it is the manager's competence as project managers that enable us to distinguish between a failure and a success project. Modern organization is adopting project management to make the process of management in an ever increasing measure to be result oriented. Project Management is all about action and innovation of a transformation for result oriented outcomes for society. A large incidence of project failure in recent years is a clear indication that the professional project managers do not know the success story of project. Perhaps, in consequences of their ignorance, they do not take sufficient care to ensure the selection of correct managerial actions for project success. Since project is governed by project documents, it is very important to bring the science and technology of project in form of managerial action. This book highlights the basic theories of project management and shows how they link to the essential features of project success based of experience of developed and developing countries. Several key themes are prominent in this reference book one is the global character of the field of project management. Examples and cases throughout the book reinforce this. Another timely theme is suggestions for improvement. Still another theme is the balance of theory and practice between developed and developing country. Project Managers need to have a sound basis for their decisions, but the theories that provide the basis must be grounded in the reality. Throughout the book I explain the theoretical frameworks that guide managerial activities, and then I provide illustrations and examples how and when those theories do and do not work based on practice of different countries. And the fourth theme is that project management is generic activity not conformed to only large project. I use it in both large and small project as well as in national and international cases. Project managers can transfer themselves from positional to personal power by effective use of it through their wide range of knowledge & Skill as a dealer of hope. The contents of the publication also include a series of research supervised by me to ensure the depth of knowledge. I am not a project practitioner; however, I am as a consultant provides professional advice. I got inspired by reading some articles and would like to introduce some basic Concepts and analysis to projects managers. Readers should not be confused as I have provided primary citations and secondary references' to show the respects to all the previous authors. This will be useful for all engineers, managers, executives, government officials, legislators, teachers and students serving in projects and even in production for overcoming the problems of performance. I have addressed the issues of disputes, documentations, risk, audit, value engineering and procedural aspects of project have been shared with the publications hope to receive reader's views, observations, criticisms and suggestions.
