INTERNATIONAL
PM GUIDE 2.0
There is more to managing an international
project than practicing project manage-
ment in the English language. The project
manager has to adapt to a different cul-
ture, a new environment, other customs
and possibly also different project manage-
ment methods.
The “International PM Guide 2.0“ explains
the requirements that a project manager
has to meet in an international project and
corporate structures in international or-
ganisations. With the help of the cultural
dimensions, a tool for the intercultural
comparison of companies, we provide pro-
ject managers with a compass that is an
effective decision-making aid.
Naturally, the “International PM Guide 2.0”
also includes detailed information about
the special aspects of project phases in
international projects. Further key content
includes team building and the commu-
nication culture in international projects.
Equal emphasis is given to soft skills and
hard facts. The “International PM Guide
2.0” communicates relevant approaches
to project management and explains the
various management styles.

who don’t intend to obtain certification can use them. How-
ever, an IAPMIC is necessary to download the “International
PM Guide 2.0”.
