"Project Management for Business Students" simplifies complex project management concepts for non-business students and professionals. Recognizing that many project management books primarily cater to engineering students or present overwhelming technical details, this e-book focuses on delivering fundamental concepts in an accessible way.
The book comprises ten thoughtfully curated chapters that introduce readers to essential topics, such as the basics of project management and its historical evolution. Key discussions include the role and skills of a project manager, the stages of project management (initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure), and various types of project organizations.
Readers will also gain practical skills for writing compelling project proposals, evaluating projects using tools like cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment, and developing effective project schedules with tools like Gantt charts. Additionally, the book emphasizes techniques for project control and evaluation, along with clear guidance on drafting and managing project contracts.
Designed to bridge the gap for those unfamiliar with business and project management, this e-book is an invaluable resource. Whether for academic growth or professional application, readers are equipped with the knowledge to manage projects in any field confidently.
