Project management is becoming a core competence — and not just about managing processes to ensure that the strategic goals of a business are delivered on time, within budget and specification. The pandemic, rapid urbanisation, digital transformation and environmental challenges are only some of the types of disruption faced by contemporary businesses. It is up to the project manager to ensure that the project management processes, as well as the projects and/or services themselves, are part of the readjustment required for business to survive these new challenges. Project Management: A Strategic Approach, by Associate Professor Carmen Reaiche, includes core values, concepts, and tools of Project Management and will be of value to both students and practitioners in Australia and overseas seeking professional development in the field of project management. This freely available ebook is available now via the JCU Open eBooks platform.
The JCU Open Education Initiative
The JCU Open Education Initiative is a project by the Division of Student Life, spearheaded by JCU Library. The aim of the project is two-fold:
- We hope to support lecturers in adopting, adapting and creating Open Educational Resources including textbooks and workbooks in order to better support the learning of our students at JCU
- We hope to make information about the people and places of the Tropics more widely accessible and understood. More than 40% of the world's population live in the Tropics and 40% of the world's surface is within the Tropics, but the area is often under represented in teaching materials.
