`An extremely useful book for anyone who is involved in international projects. It manages to bring across the complexity of the subject, including the 'soft factors' that are frequently forgotten, in a systematic way which is easy-to-understand and to implement in business practice. This makes an ideal choice for MBA programs and other professional degrees' - Prof. Anne-Wil Harzing, Department of Management and Marketing, University of Melbourne
This book is an additional source for teaching the topic of international project management. A good overview of the topic and a good mixture of theory and practice.
This book is an obligatory source for people interested in international project management and distributed project teams. It is well structured, contains all relevant information, interesting case studies, exercises for students and review questions. Information is presented in a very comprehensible way. Reading this book is a pleasure. It can be easily adopted in project management courses. I will definitey recommend this book to my students and will use it in my next project management course.
Not focused on PM methods. My undergraduates need introductory concepts and concrete methods to follow. This book would suit a level six or seven learner more.
Koster's book is a useful reference for mapping and completing international consulting projects conducted by students.
This book provides a useful international perspective to events project management and also covers many different aspects.
I believe it will be easy for my international MBA students to read and understand. I also liked the layout and sequence of the text.
Thanks for the inspection copy! I will recommend it for my students next year!

We have adopted this book as recommended reading as it covers the international aspect of project management very well.
In her excellently written book Ms Köster focusses on issues that gain importance in international projects. The book is a good complement to textbooks providing more general and also more in-depth information about project management and Ms Köster even provides very helpful comments about recommended further readings at the end of each chapter.
The book offers insights into the complexity of managing international projects from various perspectives. Our students found it useful to have a compendium of issues and solutions.
This is a very useful book which highlights the "international" aspect of projects. It is well written and covers many aspects that are often not considered in mainstream project management textbooks. The case studies and excercises are very helpful for teaching and learning.
Very well suited for our course on IPM at Master level
A useful addition to the list of PM books available on the marker. Especially noteworty as it covers International issues and concerns in some detail. Also strong on the more qualitative aspects of proecjt management. Main concern is it tries to cover too much - it attempts to cover the basics of PM with PERT, etc., but could not really be used on a general PM course to replace the more general texts. However very useful as an additional recommended text on the reading list and in the university library. Best for any student wishing to focus on international projects.
This book was recommended along with other textbooks as supplement the essential book: An Introduction to Project Management, International Edition by Kathy Schwalbe
A good and well written textbook. A highly useful read for students anticipating a future career in project management.
Recommended for International Management students for Fall 2010. The price of the text and the content are the major reasons for the adoptation. The content of the text is easy to understand for the students in the class.
Replete with mini cases, practical exercises, clear summaries and learning objectives this book will help my students of Management of Project Risk to understand many relevant aspects, particularly at international level. Although containing "International" in the title, don't be fooled by the relevance of this book's contents to any course that require project management tuition at all levels including second degree.
