IHS Inc. and AMACOM, a division of the American Management Association, announce a partnership that allows IHS to resell numerous AMACOM titles covering project management theory, process and best practices as well as AMA handbooks on a variety of related topics.

The partnership between IHS and AMACOM equips business, project and product management leadership teams with guiding principles from Peter Drucker, the renowned management thought leader. This arrangement provides for additional proficiency and collaboration tools to help management leaders avoid project risks, ensure project governance, enhance team communication and instill operational excellence.

“AMACOM provides a wealth of information on project management, with a key title in this area being the brand new, fourth edition of The AMA Handbook of Project Management,” says Nancy Roberson, president of AMACOM. “The global community of IHS users can now benefit by accessing AMACOM key publications within the IHS Knowledge Collections.”

The titles available from the IHS-AMACOM partnership are a collection from AMACOM authors who are experts in their fields and whose work stems from their experience as world-class educators, successful executives, business owners, trainers, consultants and journalists. They include publications such as A Class with Drucker: The Lost Lessons of the World's Greatest Management Teacher and The Practical Drucker: Applying the Wisdom of the World's Greatest Management Thinker, both by William A. Cohen.

Also included is The AMA Business Boot Camp, an authoritative and comprehensive guidebook covering core business fundamentals needed to manage effectively, think critically, solve problems, innovate, collaborate and communicate more powerfully at every level within an organization.

“Business leaders all over the globe entrust and know AMACOM as a leading authoritative source for improving their management skills,” says Jeff Jarvis, senior director of IHS strategic relationships. “Surfacing the rich knowledge in these publications through the IHS Goldfire patented search technology can help management and other business professionals quickly put this valuable knowledge to work.”
