The revised edition of the single-best source of project management case studies
Project Management Case Studies, Second Edition presents the most comprehensive collection of project management case studies available today. Compiled by Harold Kerzner, the leading authority on project management, it offers more than ninety case studies that illustrate both successful implementation of project management by actual companies and pitfalls to avoid in a variety of real-world situations.
Now with twenty-five new case studies, this new edition:
* Represents a wide range of industries, including medical and pharmaceutical, aerospace, manufacturing, automotive, finance and banking, and telecommunications
* Covers cutting-edge areas of construction and international project management
* Presents best practices and pitfalls of project management implementation in the real world
* Follows and supports preparation for the Project Management Professional (PMP(r)) Certification Exam
Whether used with the latest edition of Harold Kerzner's landmark reference, Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling, or on its own, Project Management Case Studies, Second Edition is a valuable resource for students, as well as practicing engineers and managers.

Rating:  - Very Good Reference For Project Managers
This book was part of my study package for a Masters course. It doesn't give guidance to new or "to be" managers. Instead, it gives real life examples of issues which a project manager is more likely to come across. It covers a wide span of applicaions; construction, computer related and manufacturing are among the many applications it covers. It is also based on the PMPBok. I would recommend te book for anyone who wants to further pursue project management as a career.

Rating:  - This Book Improves with Age and Time
My first thought as I laid this book down from my first reading was, "How can I get my money back?"
