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
