Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This impressive book
challenges the orthodoxies that have dominated the construction
management research (CMR) field for the past 50 years. Providing a
comprehensive framework for understanding the complex and
multi-faceted domain of construction, A Research Agenda for
Construction Management sets out a range of alternative
perspectives which problematise the axioms upon which much CMR
knowledge is based and offers new directions for the research
community to consider. Chapters range from exploring approaches to
better understand the industry and its various functions, to
discussing how alternative theoretical positions might be mobilised
to shed new light on complex socio-economic activity. By
challenging the ways in which construction is viewed, this Research
Agenda subjects dominant research approaches and paradigms to
critical scrutiny, ultimately encouraging future researchers to
reflect on and adopt more creative and meaningful approaches to
their work. By identifying new and emergent themes and exploring
how these can be researched, this incisive Research Agenda will be
of considerable interest to researchers and academics in the field
of construction management research. Its thought-provoking chapters
will also make this a fitting read for research-engaged
construction practitioners.
