Innovation in production processes and project management

The complexity in the management of an organization today, be it an institution or a company, requires an increasingly precise knowledge and the use of innovative tools. Furthermore, the fact of being part of a community imposes additional obligations and generates rights for the organization’s stakeholders and partners. In summary, in today's complex world where everything is smart, social and interactive, innovation has become a must, not only as a mean for supporting growth, but also for the organization’s consolidation and long term survival.
Project Management represents a set of strategic and operational management practices that can be used to develop and finalize certain projects and objectives that the organization sets for itself. The key objective of this manual is more than a simple photograph of the present reality as resulting from the observations of the authors; on the contrary, this manual recalls the concrete and urgent need to understand and govern the far reaching changes taking place in the world of modern organizations, due to their potentially destabilizing impacts well as the opportunities they create. This is only possible by reworking our reading paradigms, our ability to understand the needs of the markets, the incessant competitiveness and the imposing technological changes.
