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 606 $aProject management 606 $aComplexity (Philosophy) 615 0$aProject management. 615 0$aComplexity (Philosophy) 676 $a658.4/040117 676 $a658.4040117 700 $aCurlee$b Wanda$0521986 701 $aGordon$b Robert L$0144367 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140794203321 996 $aComplexity theory and project management$92131954 997 $aUNINA
