How you can make Project Management relevant to Business School Students! any idea?
Many businsess schools consider project management (PM) a technical domain leaving it for the engineers and technical guys from other professional domains. This has serious implications for their graduates as sooner or later these graduates will have to manage projects. Lack of general PM skills may lead to poor alignment of projects with corporate/business strategy and managers may buy in ideas not worth following or give up on important projects. Personally, I have found management theories of little usage until business graduates have reasonable understandings of project management and quality management as these two directly affect graduates' overall management skills. I think there is growing recognition of this issue now in business schools and many of them have started teaching PM as an important course now.
Many thanks Nolberto for all the information sent it to me

Across the public and private sectors, more and more organisations now recognise the value of running aspects of their business in the form of projects, managed using project management concepts, tools and techniques. This has led to a growing demand for skilled project managers. With comprehensive modules designed by academics with extensive professional and research experience, on current theory and practice make the students to prepare for a successful career as a project manager. It also offers a high level of flexibility; the students will be able to choose modules that are relevant to your sector or your career aims.
In an October 2009 Economist Intelligence Unit report, 90 percent of executives surveyed claimed that project management is either critical or somewhat important to their operations, while a mere 37 percent of respondents felt their firm did at least a "very good" job of managing important projects.
