Autorenporträt

Beverly Pasian has turned her career to creative and socially responsible dimensions of project management research during the past 10 years. Research method design, gender leadership of projects and quality-of-life achievement in smart city development are at the top of this list. New publications are coming in each along with ongoing profiling of smart city projects and the cities that sponsor them. Association leadership continues within the Special Interest Group (Smarter Cities) of the International Project Management Association, on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Smart Cities Technical Community and as conference chair of the European Technology Management Conferences. Always eager to collaborate, Beverly welcomes contact from anyone who shares these interests! Rodney Turner is the author or editor of 18 books, including The Handbook of Project-based Management and the Gower Handbook of Project Management. He was editor of The International Journal of Project Management from 1993-2018. He is a visiting professor at the University of Leeds and honorary professor at the University of Warwick. Most recently, he was Professor of Project Management at SKEMA Business School, Lille, France; SAIPEM Professor of Project Management at the Politecnico di Milano; and Professor and High-End Foreign Expert at Shanghai University. In 2004, he received a lifetime research achievement award from the Project Management Institute and, in 2012, from the International Project Management Association.
