Project Management - A Professional Approach to Events

by Jan Verhaar

Project management is characterised by the systematic and integral control of the development process, from creative idea to concrete product. This book concentrates on the management of event projects. Events, such as exhibitions, conferences, arts productions, festivals and company and sports events, draw a lot of attention. An initiative frequently ends in failure, because the funding cannot be finalised, deadlines are not met, or budgets are exceeded. The professional management of a project can prevent many problems. Project Management is very user-friendly and stands out by its direct applicability.

Project Management was written for students at college or university but it can also be an invaluable guide for the professional in the workplace.
