Managing International Projects
Today’s industry and business processes run increasingly on the basis of projects and networks. The speed of development, the internationalization of operational activities and the requirements of quality bring managers, engineers and technicians to drive processes and growth through projects.
As a methodology, project management defines central and pillar tasks, creates business plans, times phases in detail, organizes concurrent engineering, structures effective communication paths, and remains flexible to respond to adaptation needs. Projects are not stand-alone activities, separate from the rest of the business. They affect and are affected by other events taking place in the enterprise. It is vital to link projects to the rest of the firm. This needs to happen at strategic, organizational, technical and commercial levels. In this way projects are not perceived as competing for resources but as contributors to the overall business development.
