’This book captures a series of insights and perspectives of particular interest to project management academics and practitioners. It draws upon over a decade of valuable teaching and research by SKEMA’s faculty. Its content is relevant, current and provides a sophisticated reference point for all readers. It will inform many pracademics for a long time. I thoroughly recommend it!’ Derek Walker, RMIT University, Australia ’There is increasing recognition of the interdependencies operating in project execution - cross-functional working, spanning organizational boundaries and engagement with wider organisational networks in successful project management. This book makes a significant contribution to understanding these interdependencies and how they are manifest in important topics of project management such as risk and governance.’ Hedley Smyth, The Bartlett School of Construction and Project Management, UCL, UK
