Project Closure
The decision to close a project before actual completion can happen for many different reasons.

Globalization and Project Management
The globalization of the workforce is an important trend in many industries and organizations. Not only are some project managers assigned to different countries to complete an assignment, but many virtual teams also have membership that spans different regions of the globe.
