Commercial Project Management | PRINT

Success factors - tasks - organization

Eds.: Hasso Reschke, Lorenz Schneider, Gregor Oleniczak

The book presents a comprehensive canon of commercial project management tasks and was developed from practice for practice. The canon covers tasks ranging from project development, contracts and execution to special tasks such as insurance management. Another focus is on international projects with their specific requirements for commercial project management. Finally, the authors also deal with roles, specific organizational forms and practical examples. The latter is particularly valuable as it shows the relevance of the topic and offers a glimpse behind the curtain of complex projects.

What is Commercial Project Management? It combines all non-technical tasks in project development and implementation under one roof. Together with a Technical Project Manager, a Commercial Project Manager forms the top management of a project, and other subtasks can of course be delegated. This is already common practice in many countries, particularly in the English-speaking world.
