Summary
Welcome to the new edition of Project Management: Integrating Strategy, Operations and Change. This re-worked and fully updated text explores not only the principles, processes and practice of project management, but also the myriad of challenges and opportunities created in trying to balance both strategic initiatives and operational realities within organizations. Project Management: Integrating Strategy, Operations and Change continues the learning journey for us all in how we plan and manage our projects: be they big or small, easy or complex, single or multiple, single site or co-location. This new edition aligns with the fifth edition of the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) and with industry requirements, international best practice, educational curriculums and qualifications, as well as incorporating aspects of other well-known international project management methodologies. It examines both project theory and practice across a variety of contexts, industry sectors and qualification levels. It has been designed and written around a single, fundamental goal-to enable and support the reader's learning as the reader continues to build, revise and integrate their own unique project management body of knowledge that combines personal research, trial and error and lessons learned.

Summary
"Volunteers make important contributions across the spectrum of event settings, most visibly at high profile mega events such as the Olympic Games where volunteers are lauded as 'Games makers', 'unsung heroes' and the like. Less visibly volunteers are the heart and soul of community events and festivals, often undertaking multi - faceted roles from event leadership through to operations, ensuring that these celebrations are made possible in the absence of big budgets and professional event staff. This book is the first to showcase and advance international research into the volunteering experience at events, drawing on the work of key scholars in this field. Events of all sizes benefit from volunteer support but event volunteering research is frequently case study-based and individually these cases make a limited impact. This text brings together cases from around the world, specifically including those that expand theoretical and methodological boundaries. It features mega events like the 2012 Olympics and the 2011 Rugby World Cup, alongside music festivals and sports events. New areas that are examined include the benefits of event volunteering for students, the role of volunteers in social enterprise events and new methodological approaches to researching this phenomenon, specifically ethnographic and cross-national studies. This innovative book acts as a global source of key information for practitioners and researchers, an important text for students of event management and will provide stimulus for further work in this emerging area"--
