Reviews

“Enterprise Project Portfolio Management balances the theoretical and pragmatic to deliver a practical synthesis for portfolio decision making. The authors provide the conceptual framework, tools, and real-world examples that can help align core technical, commercial, and financial planning functions under a common strategic management structure.”
—Robert F. Prachar, Jr., Sr. Vice President, Enterprise Strategy and Portfolio Planning, Endo Health Solutions

“Both students and practitioners will benefit from reading this comprehensive, easy-to-read, and highly practical book.”
—Dr. Jonathan Woo, Director, Portfolio Management & Decision Analysis, Johnson & Johnson

“…as on target as it is impressive. The authors have produced a very valuable resource. Their integration of the theory and practice of portfolio management will provide as much support for professors who must teach the topic as it will for students who must learn it and, just as important, practicing professionals who must apply it.”
—Dr. Donald L. Pardew, Professor, Columbia Business School (formerly), University of Bolzano (currently)
