Knowledge management presents a new way of understanding
organizations and companies, and is especially suited to
sophisticated and highly technical firms and operations such as
those in the construction industry. This new book draws on hard
data from three separate research programs in Sweden and shows how
the concept of knowledge can make sense in the construction
industry, an industry which can be viewed in essence as being
engaged in the material transformation of "nature into buildings".
In particular it explores and examines three different businesses:
a medium sized construction firm; Wingardh Architecture, Sweden's
most prestigious architecture firm; and BESAB, a specialist
concrete injection firm working on underground construction. An
emerging theme is the situational and context-bound nature of
knowledge in the construction industry, thus showing "knowledge" to
be a remarkably heterogeneous concept. A range of readers should
find the book useful, from students and construction managers
through to researchers.
