Introduction
As corporate structures shift to include an increasing number of cross-functional projects, the demand for project management knowledge which prepares undergraduate students to function effectively in this environment increases as well. To address the issue of preparing students to function in a project-based environment, a communications approach to project management is defined as an approach focused on both genres for documentation used to manage projects and the situatedness of project management documents in organizational structures, cultures, and knowledge management processes. This paper will describe the project management course used in the International Marketing and Management BA program at the Aarhus School of Business based on this communications approach, give examples of student responses to the curriculum, and recommend ways of integrating project management processes and documents into technical communication curricula.
