About the Book
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT uses the highly successful case method of the Harvard Business School and the Richard Ivey Business School to help you to become a much more effective manager of international development projects. Using real case studies of different types of situations in a wide range of countries, Keenan and Gilmore examine projects, identifying what to do and how to do it.
Sharpen your managerial skills by working through these real international cases. You’ll be placed in the shoes of the original decision makers and given the same information with which to choose a course of action that you can defend to your peers.
INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT explains—at the operational level—what approaches and methods are most effective and which traditional techniques need to be abandoned. While exploring the cases, INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT takes you through the fundamentals of international development, and teaches you how to sensitively create, manage and evaluate projects of international cooperation.
