| Summary |
"Ancient projects like the Angkor Wat in Cambodia represent the willingness of emperors and kings to undertake enormous projects, in some cases committing the resources of a whole nation. Archeologists have concluded that Angkor Wat most likely served as both a temple and a mausoleum for Suryavarman II (1112-1152 A.D.), a former King of Cambodia. In our modern society, managers who - unlike the ancient emperors - have limited resources and are short on time, perform large and small projects. This book is intended for those who must work within the framework of a complex organization and want to succeed in project management."--BOOK JACKET |
