Aviation Project Management Highlights the Ways That Successful Businesses Are Managed in the Aviation Industry

DUBLIN, Ireland-(Business Wire)-September 30, 2008 - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e12f30/aviation_project_m) has announced the addition of the "Aviation Project Management" report to their offering.

Combining the considerable respective expertise of Triant Flouris and Dennis Lock, this unique book highlights the ways that successful businesses are managed in the aviation industry through the identification and application of proven project management methods. Theoretical concepts are defined, clarified and shown how they can be valuable to business managers and students of the aviation business sector. Aviation Project Management builds on the successful and popular work of Dennis Lock but is considerably enhanced by applications, examples, illustrations and case examples pertaining to projects exclusively from the aviation industry.

Theory in the project management field is already well evolved, so the purpose of this book is not to review that theory but rather to demonstrate how the lessons of theory can be of practical use to aviation students and business managers. It provides a practical guide to those interested in how projects are managed and the common mistakes that aviation project managers should avoid.
