Governance and Governmentality for Projects

Ralf Muller · 2016
63/100
👎 Skip It

Muller is a legitimate authority — PMI Fellow, four decades of industry experience, Routledge imprint — and the governance framework he builds here is research-grounded rather than anecdotal. The problem is audience: this is a narrowly specialized academic text written for scholars and senior practitioners already fluent in governance theory. Practitioners looking for applied guidance will find it dense; researchers in adjacent fields may find the project-specific focus too narrow.
