The construction industry faces continual challenges and
demands, due to market conditions and coercion by governments, for
improvements in safety, quality and cost control, and in the
avoidance of contractual disputes. To meet these challenges
construction enterprises need to constantly seek new directions and
business models in construction management. A number of tools,
methods and concepts have been developed and advocated as aids to
achieving improved performance, but many in the industry find them
confusing or are sceptical of their relevance.
The third edition of" Construction Management: New
Directions"brings together, in a single volume, detailed discussion
of a range of contemporary management concepts which are relevant
to the construction industry, including "strategic management;
benchmarking; reengineering; partnering and alliancing; enterprise
risk management; total safety management; total quality management;
value management and constructability." It provides a
straightforward, accessible and objective account of these
concepts, showing how they interrelate and can be used to improve
the performance of the construction firm.
This research based text will be essential reading for industry
leaders and practitioners, as well as researchers, postgraduate and
senior undergraduate students.
