Recent studies indicate that these processes are not implemented and concerns have been raised. The authors present an investigation into the current practices of the three soft project management subject matters of selecting project team members, structuring the teams and the management style followed in the construction industry in UK and their reflection upon the project management outcome. The results confirm the concerns raised and indicate that the current levels of implementation by practitioners delivers only acceptable as opposed to successful level of project management outcome. The findings call for a reconsideration of the approach taken when deciding how to organize and manage project teams and a redress towards improving project management outcome.展开更多

It＇s one of the problems for human resource managers to select the most suitable person among many candidates. Nowadays, most enterprises resort to the simple evaluation in hiring which is unfair for evaluating the abilities of applicants. AHP model is a method which combining qualitative and quantitative. This paper applies the AHP model to hiring the middle managers and takes the recruiting of project managers for example to analyze its effectiveness. Hope to provide scientific decision basis for recruiting, middle managers.展开更多

In ancient times this process seems to have been accomplished based on the scheme of arrangements being contained in the leader＇s mind and instructions communicated verbally. Modem approaches to solving the twin challenges of first thinking through the ＇plan＇ and then communicating the plan to the people who need to do ＇the right work, at the right time, in the right place＇ use sophisticated graphics, charts, diagrams, and computa- tions. This paper traces the development of the concepts most project managers take for granted including bar charts and critical path schedules from their origins （which are far earlier than most people think） through to the modem day. The first section of the paper looks at the development of concepts that allow the visualization of time and other data. The second looks at the shift from static representations to dynamic modeling through the emergence of computers, dynamic calculations and integrated data from the 1950s to the present time.展开更多
