management is essential both to the individual worker planning his own work and
the multinational company developing new production facilities for the next
century. The first stage is to examine the possible projects, estimating their
costs, benefits and risks. The best options are then analysed in more detail:
their costs, time schedules and resource implications are all assessed.
Alternative project plans are considered and the best plan is implemented.
Throughout the project the manager must keep control of the schedule, cost and
technical quality to ensure successful completion on time and to
budget.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
