Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Controlling, grade: 1,0, , course: Human Resources I, language: English, abstract: Abstract The concept of the personnel management in multi- project situations is based on the definition of personnel management that says that a person should work in positions and functions of a project team to achieve his/her best performance. In the same way the definition is focused on the well-being of every individual which insures his/her best performance. It is crucial to put the person in a frame that fits to the psychological experiences and socialization of this person. The presented concept is aligned with the “team role theory” of Belim (1993) which deals with the organization and the combination of the manpower in a project group. The given paper is focused on the multi-project situations that can occur in technical writing projects.

There are plenty of books about project management, but this is the first one written for the people who have the most at stake: the senior executives who will ultimately be held accountable for the successes of the projects they approve and supervise. Top enterprise project management expert Michael Bender explains project management from the perspective that matters most to executives: adding value. Most books view project management from the inside, focusing primarily on lower-level issues, such as the creation of Work Breakdown Structures. A Manager's Guide to Project Management views it from above, explaining how project managers can best achieve the strategic goals of the business; the executive's role in successful project management; and the tools available to executives who want to gain greater value from project management. Drawing on his extensive experience, Bender shows how to: make sure project and enterprise goals align; structure organizations to support more effective project communication and decision making; integrate project processes with other organizational processes; oversee projects more effectively. This book contains a full section on understanding and managing projects as capital investments, including detailed coverage of building balanced project portfolios. Bender concludes with a sophisticated discussion of managing projects in global environments and optimizing resources where multiple projects must be managed.
