Inhaltsangabe:Abstract: Within the framework of this thesis, a questionnaire-based survey was carried out among British conference organisers to find out the extent to which the use of project network techniques as a planning and monitoring tool has become widespread, which advantages or disadvantages it has when used in conference management and on which factors the use of PNT depends.

WITH A FOREWORD BY WALTER MURCH Gene Phillips blends biography, studio history, and film criticism to complete the most comprehensive work on Coppola ever written. The force behind such popular and critically acclaimed films as Apocalypse Now and the Godfather trilogy, Coppola has imprinted his distinct style on each of his movies and on the landscape of American popular culture. In Godfather, Phillips argues that Coppola has repeatedly bucked the Hollywood "factory system" in an attempt to create distinct films that reflect his own artistic vision—often to the detriment of his career and finances. Phillips conducted interviews with the director and his colleagues and examined Coppola's production journals and screenplays.

The result is the definitive assessment of one of Hollywood's most enduring and misunderstood mavericks.
