Complexity Theory and Project Management shifts this paradigm to create opportunities for expanding the decision-making process in ways that promote flexibility-and increase effectiveness. It informs readers on the managerial challenges of juggling project requirements, and offers them a clear roadmap on how to revise perspectives and reassess Project managementComplexity (Philosophy)Project management.Complexity (Philosophy)658.4/040117658.4040117Curlee Wanda521986Gordon Robert L144367MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910140794203321Complexity theory and project management2131954UNINA
