Training of project managers for international projects

Abstract

The definition of a successful company now exceeds national boundaries. The number of international projects continues to grow, and we can predict that this trend will continue in the future. Companies will need more project managers with capabilities to conduct international projects. Knowledge of project managers in future must be more and more complemented with elements of international matters. Training specific to the host country is necessary for international project managers. Project managers get benefit from training for international projects in many subjects: from economy to cultural differences. The purpose of this paper is to consider the basic elements of international economy and projects and training needs for international project managers.
