a)Financial management and accounting 

b)Purchasing and procurement 

c)Sales and marketing 

d)Contracts and commercial law 

e)Manufacturing and distribution 

f)Logistics and supply chain 

g)Strategic planning, tactical planning, and operational planning

General management provides the foundation for building project management skills and is often essential for the project manager. On any given project, skill in any number of general management areas may be required. General management literature documents these skills, and their application is fundamentally the same on a project.

PMP Exam video

this movie is about how to pass the PMP exam. I would recommend it to all project managers and specialists

Sample Examination Questions

PMP exam consists of 200 multiple choice questions (of which 175 is
taken into account when calculating the results of the test), produced and
updated annually by the IIA.

To pass the exam must be answered correctly to at least 106 of the
175 questions, which is 61%.

Example:

	"A company has to make a choice between two projects, because the available resources in money and kind are not sufficient to run both at the same time. Each project would take 9 months and would cost $250,000. The first project is a process optimization which would result in a cost reduction of $120,000 per year. This benefit would be achieved immediately after the end of the project.   The second project would be the development of a new product which could produce the following net profits after the end of the project: 1. year:       $ 15,000 2. year: $ 125,000 3. year: $ 220,000 Assumed is a discount rate of 5% per year. Looking at the present values of the benefits of these projects in the first 3 years, what is true?
		Both projects are equally attractive.
		The first project is more attractive by app. 7%.
		The second project is more attractive by app. 5%.
		The first project is more attractive by app. 3%." and if you want more of these questions and answers, please write !! And I  recommend the site where we faund such questions and answer  PMP Certification Exam Questions
