Reseña del libro "Research Project Management: The Research Team (en Inglés)"
Do you want to work with others on a research project? If you do, your team of highly skilled scientists will propose novel hypotheses, carefully plan experiments, meticulously collect data and clearly communicate progress. Your team will manage a complex myriad of tasks on your quest to learn something and you will need a unique set of skills to manage those tasks. You will be working with a group of highly qualified, well trained, creative, interdependent scientists, who have a diversity of experience, beliefs and biases. You are expected to form a cohesive team, create something new, resolve conflicts, work towards a shared goal and complete a research project successfully on time and within a fixed budget. Ultimately it is up to you to ensure that you embrace the diversity on your research team and use not only technical diversity, but diversity of beliefs, approaches and philosophies, to achieve your common goal.The book series Research Project Management will provide you with project management tools to enable you to complete successful, innovative research projects that have global impact. These tools will help you to identify the right R&D organization, to work in a creative team, to make joint decisions, and to be successful. Young scientists who are beginning their research careers as well as experienced researchers will benefit from adaptation of these processes. The tools in the Scientist’s Toolbox merge skills in creative thinking, leadership, teamwork, project management and communication into the scientific method. The result is a management philosophy for research projects that are summarized in ten principles. This book, Research Project Management: The Research Team, outlines how you can apply these principles when you work with a research team on a quest to do what no one has done before. The Scientist’s Toolbox provides recipes with a step-by-step instruction to guide you through your interactions with others on a research team and will help you to perfect your skill in managing research projects.
