Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Project Management
Stewart R. Clegg · 2020
74/100
👍 Worth It
Clegg, Skyttermoen, and Vaagaasar fill a real gap: mainstream PM textbooks almost always skip the human, emotional, and societal dimensions that actually determine whether projects succeed or fail. The active-learning design and European research tradition make this genuinely distinctive, and Sage's second edition release is a good signal the academic market has validated it. Students and reflective practitioners will get more from this than PMP exam-preppers will.
