Features: This book elaborates on the significant changes in the field of project management in recent years. Project management has become an independent profession, and project organizations have become a discipline used to address an increasing number of problems. Project management is one of the most common solutions for problem-solving in both public and private institutions, which is also a key focus of this book. The book introduces the similarities and differences of projects applied to public institutions and private enterprises. Its purpose is to help readers recognize that projects should be regarded as a way of working. Here, "work" refers to all meaningful, valuable, and purposeful human activities. Clearly, project management has now become a core course in almost all training programs, whether it is comprehensive university education or continuing education taught by experts. The structure of this book reflects the important role of projects in various types of work. The authors discuss the planning, organization, and management of projects from multiple perspectives and conduct extensive and in-depth exploration of common management issues from both theoretical and practical aspects.
