Well worth reading,
This is a well structured and enjoyable book. Good examples are given throughout. It shows how project leaders (Chapter 4 `Leading Diversity) could excel in international situations in part because they will be able to put project events and situations into proper perspective. This perspective will help them to understand the project risks involved, and the degree to which international events will actually affect them. “Although the book is a blend of practice and theory, it is also our hope that it exposes the reader to more than just project management thinking, for that is what international project managers must possess”. This objective has been achieved and is probably the best reason why one entering or already involved in international projects should read this book. Also worth remembering is that the processes that are described are “a goal that must be modified to fit the conditions encountered”. This should be kept in mind as it shows those involved in international projects that one has to use the tools to suit each project individually. As an ex-International worker in construction I have no doubt I would have benefited from reading this book had it been available. As a lecturer in project management to undergraduate engineers I will without hesitation recommend this book as essential reading for those who intend to enter the international market.
