Published: Thursday, October 13, 2011 - 14:10 (CRC Press: Boca Raton, FL) -- Ethics plays a critical role in project management, but all too often its importance is overlooked. This benign neglect can result in serious consequences to individuals and organizations, ranging from tarnished reputations to civil and criminal liability. Ethics and Project Management, by Ralph L. Kliem (CRC Press, 2011) demonstrates the importance of making ethics a key consideration in managing projects and describes the impacts that occur when ethical transgressions arise. Providing the tools necessary for project managers to avoid an ethical lapse that can put themselves and their organization at risk, this book: Each chapter ends with a Getting Started Checklist, facilitating immediate application of the concepts discussed and making it easy for project managers to determine whether they are in compliance with ethical standards. Providing a solid road map for the ethical health of a project, this book is essential reading for all those concerned with avoiding the disastrous consequences of a cavalier approach to ethics. “In a world where we usually see ethics gone awry, he [Kliem] proves that taking the hard right over the easy wrong still is (and always will be) the best option. Since project management is a global profession, today's project manager is faced with integrating the rules, customs, cultures, and ethical values of different countries into their projects. Using the information in this book will sustain the foundation of ethical behavior and decision-making at all levels of the organization, regardless of project size or location.”
