Management consultants Robert Graham and Randall Englund believe that the development and launch of successful new products and services

Projects: The Quest to Manage Project Management, they use the experiences of Hewlett-Packard, AT&T, General Electric, United Airlines,
and other notable firms to show what they mean. They also demonstrate how upper managers can cultivate such an atmosphere in their own
enterprises and avoid the failures that otherwise threaten their corporate survival.
