PM Reading

While browsing for some support doc over at books24×7 I came across the following title:

“Project Management: A Systems Approach to Planning, Scheduling, and Controlling, Eighth Edition” by Harold Kerzner. Editor: John Wiley & Sons - 2003

I didn’t have time to read through the whole thing but found the part that I read on defning a functional manager’s role quite helpful. Unlike many PM books that I’ve read so far this one actually bothers to take the focus away from the PM role and explains the constraints under which the functional manager works and thus how this may influence his relation to the project.
