From the Hubble space telescope that was launched with a malfunctioning device resulting in all the pictures it took being blurred, to the extremely late completion of England's new national soccer stadium at Wembley, history is full of examples of projects that damaged organisations because they were late, over budget, failed to deliver what they were meant to, or were complete disasters.

The Economist Guide To Change And Project Management explains the principles and techniques of project management and how they are interconnected with the day-to-day management of a business. It is an invaluable handbook for helping firms deliver successful project outcomes and achieve lasting benefits through effective change.
