Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Expertly mixing theory and practice and providing readers with a guide on how to projects efficiently, this book explores how best to manage a product failure and an unscheduled end of a project.
MoreLong description:
Understanding project endings is a significant part of project management, yet there is relatively little work published in this important area. This book addresses the gap, focusing on the successful management of project endings, showing how to plan for the ending of a project, how to create ending competencies, and in particular, how to successfully manage relations with different stakeholders of a project as it is coming to an end.
Havila and Salmi use a real-life case in the airline industry to show how the successful ending project was achieved and in doing so portray ideas and experiences not typically considered in the field. Through the case discussion, the complexity of the process is unveiled and the achievement of success for all parties is explained. The book portrays three key success factors: ending competencies, to be developed both at the organizational and individual levels; efficient management of the business network around the ending project; and involvement at the strategic managerial level. It concludes that project endings are often complex and have far-reaching effects, and therefore, call for close managerial attention.
"This book looks at the successful management of the premature end of one project. It uses an excellent case study and as the layers are peeled away the complexity is unveiled and the achievement of success for all parties is demonstrated. Although not couched in project management speak this is an admirable adjunct to the conventional project and programme management texts and is a recommended read for aspiring and practicing project managers."
