Project management and direction organizational absorptive capacity – the PM4AC model
This book gathers an important research process in the field of project management, addressing a current issue for the challenges posed by highly competitive environments, such as the relationship of projects with knowledge, more specifically with external knowledge. For this purpose, it uses the dynamic absorptive capacity, a concept widely used in the scientific literature but little explored in project management. The book also presents a practical tool to determine the magnitude of the dynamic absorptive capacity. This makes it possible to establish a baseline to initiate a process of continuous improvement, which provides the opportunity to improve the competitiveness of the organization based on proper knowledge management. In this same sense, the model presented in this document contains a series of intervals that offer the possibility for the organization to catalog its results qualitatively.
Ocho investigaciones inéditas de investigadores innovadores
El grupo de investigación en Dirección y Gestión de Proyectos de la Universidad EAN, tiene el agrado de presentar en esta obra trabajos de investigación enfocados en el diseño de distintas propuestas metodológicas para la gestión de proyectos. La importancia del modelado radica en la facilidad que ofrece para comprender las distintas realidades del mundo. Así las cosas, el ser humano ha encontrado en los modelos un excelente mecanismo para diseñar soluciones a los problemas y avanzar en el desarrollo del conocimiento. Bajo esta perspectiva, la gestión de proyectos, como objeto de estudio, no es ajena a esta realidad, encontrando en los modelos una alternativa para ir madurando cada vez más como disciplina a favor del alcance de los objetivos organizacionales.

Sustainability in Project Management
The concept of sustainability has grown in recognition and importance. The pressure on companies to broaden their reporting and accountability from economic performance for shareholders, to sustainability performance for all stakeholders is leading to a change of mindset in consumer behaviour and corporate policies. How can we develop prosperity without compromising the life and needs of future generations? Sustainability in Project Management explores and identifies the questions surrounding the integration of the concepts of sustainability in projects and project management and provides valuable guidance and insights. Sustainability relates to multiple perspectives, economical, environmental and social, but also to responsibility and accountability and values in terms of ethics, fairness and equality. The authors will inspire project managers to be aware of these considerations, and to apply them to the role they play in projects, not just 'doing things right' but 'doing the right things right'.

Operations Management
This exciting new textbook provides exceptional coverage of the essential topics taught in a modern operations management course. Its highly current coverage includes contemporary and relevant service theory and applications. Appropriate manufacturing applications and theory are included where relevant. The book's modern/strategic approach addresses OM from a cross-functional perspective, which views operations as linked to all other functional areas of an organization, such as marketing and finance. The strategic approach takes into consideration the integration of technology and how it changes the way a firm operates. Recognition of this current trend is the main differentiating factor for this Collier/Evans text. The book provides equal coverage of manufacturing and services theory and applications, while placing an emphasis on the integration of the value chain.
