Abstract :
This Special Issue on Project Management brings together some of the latest research and practices in project management in Europe, South America, and the United States. The papers in this issue deal with organizational structures for project management, the role and authority of the project manager, the use of matrix structures, project control methods, and managing large-scale project risks. To provide a proper context for these papers, it is useful to briefly examine the history of project management, some of its problems, and its future potentials.
