Excellent additional tool to have.......2007-02-05

Bought this book at the campus book store. For 8.95 its not a bad price. I found it to be an excellent second resource to quickly look items up such as verbs, proper grammar, etc when writing sentences or the like.

Too general ... no case studies, examples, best practices.......2004-04-08

Book provides very general high level overview of PM. It does not get into details such as case studies, examples or best practices, documentation etc. You can read the same information on the web freely.

>>>> Best Practices on Every Page.......2003-10-16

Best Practices on Every Page

This is an excellent well-written, concise and extraordinary value book. As a IT professional with over 25 years project management experience I have been looking for a complete guide to PM - and now I have found it. The book leads the reader through the phases, issues, techniques and best practices in the industry. I shall be using it for teaching PM best practices in my corporation from now on as well as recommending it to other managers.

It is an exceptional well produced book, with well-illustrated diagrams and explanations where appropriate. It has clarity and style - unlike many PM books. I was also surprised to find a FREE class questions and answers available from the publishers in a separate volume.

Clearly Murch knows his craft and what makes good ( and bad ) project management. I would encourage Murch to write another follow-on book in the same style and quality that deals with advanced IT PM techniques. For a book like that is clearly needed in the IT industry.

Must recommend this book for all interested in PM, IT professionals and end users, seniro IT management and students

Thank you,

Clarity, Style and Knowledge - Excellent Book.......2003-05-23

Whether you are an experienced project manager, a novice or someone who manages project managers,this book is for you. It is also a book for senior management and CIO/CTO's particularly. Almost all in IT department can gain from this book. BUY IT and READ IT.

Breaking down the practice of project management into easy to learn steps, Mr. Murch take you through the basics of project management. Each section is methodically thought out and presented well. The writing style is excellent, clear, easy to read and understand, more importantly it stays with you.

There is an excellent section of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) which is full of best practices and excellent advice for any reader. This is unusual, as my many other books on project management do not address thus important issue, KUDOS Mr. Murch and thank you~!

Once you understand the basic principles of managing a project (any project!) and lay out the steps defined, it is easy to bring your projects under control. This book belongs in your library. As with any good reference book, you'll find yourself referring back to it over time.

Where are the best practices?.......2003-05-12

I found little value in this book. Perhaps I misunderstood the title, but I hope to save you from doing the same. This book contains no best practices - only a very general (and incomplete) overview of the project management process.

I would have expected to see a book heavy on "practice" considering the book's title, but the book is mostly theory at a very high level. The book has more of a dictionary feel than anything else. The project management process is presented, and each area in the process is defined (at least partially).

Sections on release management, configuration management, and problem resolution were under a page long. From the description and other reviews, I was really expecting to find some meat in these areas. For that matter, most of the chapters were rather light on content - again, not what I would expect in a "practice" book.

A few other notes:

* The writing style is rather dry - not academic, but more corporate process team.
* The quality of the book materials, binding, typography are excellent.
* Resources for further reading are poor.
* Some excellent graphics: CRUD matrix, process overview, status report template (it's for this reason that I didn't give it a one star)
* Case studies were poor: they seemed to have no ties to the chapter in which they were presented.

In a nutshell, for a very high-level overview of project management theory, this book will prove beneficial. If you have a background in project management, or are familiar with the process, or are looking for infomration you can put to work, this is not the book for you.

Too general for an IT professional........2003-04-16

There are too few of real world examples on how the activities or standards are applied. Although no doubt that human communication is important, but I think some good examples will make the technologies understand better on how to manage IT projects in a proper way. I think, this book is more suitable as keynotes instead of a primary reference book. If you are serious about putting some standards to your IT projects, try to check out the book titled "Quality Software Project Management", ISBN#0130912972.

Book Description

This text focuses on improving business processes by using all the important statistical techniques needed to facilitate effective decision making. The text follows a traditional approach and topic organization that is appropriate for most introductory business statistics courses, but also incorporates a more modern approach that infuses quality and emphasizes process improvement throughout. The authors' highest priority is developing a text that offers clear and understandable explanations of concepts and providing case studies and examples that reflect real applications of statistics today.

Excellent introduction to Business Statistics.......1999-08-19

I'm currently doing a first course in mathematical statistics and have found that this book extends my knowledge much further than the locally published book prescribed to us or the lectures we recieve. It is also goes beyond the scope of most other books aiming to introduce business statistics. It's easy language makes for no effort in understanding basic principles - even for a freshman like me. Highly recommended... just don't plan on carrying it about.

Product Description

In this book you will have an opportunity to hear stories from the seven educational organizations that have used the Baldrige Education Criteria for Performance Excellence as a guide along their route to designing and improving educational systems. The book is a question-and-answer session with seven leaders who were intimately involved in their organizations' journeys. From getting buy-in, dealing with resistance, and aligning all systems and departments, to mistakes made along the way, financial impact, and continuing the Baldrige journey, it is an invaluable opportunity to hear which roads these leaders took and where it got them. Included on the accompanying CD are the complete Baldrige applications for each of these organizations. When their responses reference something about which youd like to learn more, you can open their application to see what was written in reference to that aspect of the Criteria. Each application includes their full organizational profile, which will give you a great deal of information about the institutions and where they were when they adopted the Baldrige Criteria. This book will be insightful and useful for all readers, whether you are new to the Baldrige principles or experienced in them. If you are not an educator but have a passion for performance excellence in education, share it with your favorite superintendent or university dean or president. If you are a superintendent, dean, or university president, you may want to share it with your cabinet, your board, or your leadership team so they can also learn from these successes and experiences of others. They will see that there is no prescribed route for your journey to performance excellence. However you use Transformation to Performance Excellence, it will encourage and inspire you to take those first or next steps. Readers of this book will be the ones to go on to provide the next round of stories that define performance excellence for educational systems!

Book Description

Japan was the first major non-western nation to take on board the Western technological and organizational advances of the century after the fist industrial revolution. It subsequently proved fully able to exploit and contribute to the broad, sustained technological advances that began in the twentieth century, as science became harnessed to technology. Japan's economic development remains a model for many technologically less advanced countries which have not yet mastered modern technology to organizational forms; and a knowledge of Japanese technological and economic history can contribute importantly to our understanding of economic growth in the modern era. This book studies the industrial development of Japan since the mid-nineteenth century, with particular emphasis on how the various industries built technological capabilities. The Japanese were extraordinarily creative in seraching out and learning to use modern technologies, and the authors investigate the emergence of entrepreneurs who began new and risky businesses, how the business organizations evolved to cope with changing technological conditions, and how the managers, engineers and workers acquired organizational and technological skills through technology importation, learning-by-doing, and their own RandD activities. The book investigates the interaction between private entrepreneural activities and public policy, through a general examination of economic and industrial development, a study of the evolution of management systems, and six industrial case studies: textiles, iron and steel, electrical and communications equipment, automobiles, shipbuilding and aircraft, and pharmaceuticals. the authors show how the Japanese government has played an important supportive role in the continuing innovation, without being a substitute for aggressive business enterprise constantly venturing into unfamiliar terrains.

Binding: Paperback
ASIN: B000OLM9ZO

Book Description

This book is a provocative study of how American-led entrepreneurship transformed business education in Europe. Starting with Silicon Valley's high technology businesses, and examining business schools in France, Germany, and the Czech Republic, Robert Locke shows how management education shifted in response to an increasingly entrepreneurial business context. His work is an important contribution that will be of interest to academics, students, and business professionals concerned with current thought on what should be taught and emphasized in contemporary business education.
