Rezensionen

'Project Management by Dennis Lock, now in its 10th Edition, is a substantial, very thorough and practical book. From the contents it becomes obvious that the author has a broad range of project experience not just in a wide variety of types of project, but also from end to end - and then some...the contents and examples are applicable to projects worldwide...If you purchase the Tutor's Edition, the book also includes a CD ROM with over 600 PowerPoint slides supporting all of the first 28 chapters ... These timed slide presentations are well prepared and represent a valuable asset for instructors wishing to use the book as a basis for instruction.' R. Max Wideman P.Eng.
