The term Facilities Management has become global but fraught with
confusion as to what the term signifies. For some, notably in the
USA, Facilities Management remains a discipline of human ecology.
Elsewhere the term has become conflated with an alternative
meaning: providing or outsourcing the provision of various services
essential to the operation of particular buildings. This volume
redresses that imbalance to remind Facilities Management of its
roots, presenting evidence of Facilities Management success stories
that engage the wider objectives of the organizations they serve,
and engaging students, scholars and critical practitioners of
general management with an appreciation of the power and influence
of physical space and its place in the theory and practice of
organizations. This book includes management perspectives from
outside the field to ensure that the issues raised are seen in an
organizational and management context, informing debate within the
Facilities Management fraternity. It draws on human ecology and the
perspective of the firm as, itself, an intra-organizational ecology
of social constructs. The ecology of a firm is not restricted to
the firm's boundaries. It extends to wider relationships between
the firm and its stakeholders including, in an age of outsourced
building services, the Facilities Management supply chain. This
volume offers arguments and evidence that managing such constructs
is a key role for Facilities Management and an important
participant in the provision of truly usable spaces.
