Project-Oriented Human Resource Management : Systems, Strategies and Design for the Temporary Organization

Organizations associated with projects present a whole series of challenges for HR systems and the managers that design and implement them. Projects are temporary, often involve employees working across disciplines and reporting lines, include their own communication networks, require different approaches to reward and motivation and tend to run counter to many of the systems designed for business-as-usual operation. Martina Huemann''s Project-Oriented Human Resource Management offers HR specialists a practical guide to projects, project management and the specific features of the project organization.
