This book builds knowledge and skills on the technical aspects of the project life cycle, the tools to plan project activities and budget, and tools to accurately determine the status of business projects. Business projects are different from the construction or engineering projects that entail a sequential process. The business projects face enormous uncertainty and demand localized treatment in carrying the project tasks. Equally important and challenging is the goal of satisfying a wide variety of stakeholder demands. Project Managers must therefore understand the detailed technical tools, as well as leadership, accountability, organizational structures, and alliances with external organizations. Hence, this book also discusses the systems thinking approach in planning and implementation of business projects.

From sushi and karaoke to martial arts and technoware, the currency of made-in-Japan cultural goods has skyrocketed in the global marketplace during the past decade. The globalization of Japanese "cool" is led by youth products: video games, manga (comic books), anime (animation), and cute characters that have fostered kid crazes from Hong Kong to Canada. Examining the crossover traffic between Japan and the United States, Millennial Monsters explores the global popularity of Japanese youth goods today while it questions the make-up of the fantasies and the capitalistic conditions of the play involved. Arguing that part of the appeal of such dream worlds is the polymorphous perversity with which they scramble identity and character, the author traces the postindustrial milieux from which such fantasies have arisen in postwar Japan and been popularly received in the United States.
