"This engaging Research Handbook presents a fresh look at how to improve project performance for the project sponsor, client and end user using a number of empirical research studies. Focusing on project performance concepts and methods, the Handbook provides a novel and fresh look at successful project completions, achieving project objectives, on-time or ahead of time project completion or delivering within budget. With contributions from expert scholars, each chapter highlights a new wave of research and examines how to plan and manage a project as well as handling unexpected changes alongside project risks, unknowns or uncertainties. Key factors enhancing project success are highlighted such as the critical role of the project manager and their effective leadership, the importance of knowledge sharing, effective communication and lessons learnt from past projects. Furthermore, the Handbook reviews new and emerging trends that can have a major impact on project performance. Combining new insights with original research, the Research Handbook on Project Performance will be an invigorating read for research scholars and graduate students studying project management as well as professional managers engaged in project management"-- Provided by publisher.
