Africa's diverse peoples and cultures must be considered in any project, as must politics, resources, and an infrastructure often struggling to keep up with economic and technological demands. The successful project manager in Africa combines knowledge of industry standards with the flexibility needed to adjust to expectations while maintaining a disciplined, effective management process. Written specifically for the African business environment, The African Project Manager contains advice, guidelines and case studies valuable to all project managers, whether they're based in Chicago, Beijing, or Lagos. Davies's thorough understanding of his topic has international applications, helping project managers transform local challenges into opportunities. -- back cover.
