Abstract: As a result of globalization and the conjoining advances in telecommunications, networking and other technologies, the environment and factors determining the rise and fall of businesses has changed dramatically. In the past; individuals were either employed as general resources or were extremely specialized. Even when there were multiple functions operating under the same cause; the organization was rarely large or developed enough to operate under anything other than a form of executive leadership. The case these days is rather different; MNCs often use cross-functional teams to progress concepts from the drawing board to the market efficiently and rapidly. Coordinating such individuals differing in geographies, departments, cultures and hierarchies require a specialized function in its own; thus bringing about the advent of Project Management. Organizations are perpetually looking to develop project managers that fit their organization’s culture and organizational structure. Human Resources (HR) managers also have a role to play in conditioning the organization and offering project managers the best resources in order to be successful in meeting their objectives.
