Innovation in Small Construction Firms promotes the benefits of
innovation, and stimulate innovation capability within and between
small and medium sized (SMEs) construction firms in an effort to
bring in a new 'can innovate, should innovate, want to innovate'
culture to the construction industry. Presenting new theoretical
and practical insights and models grounded in descriptive case
studies, the issues addressed include: what is the motivation to
innovate? what is appropriate innovation? how can small
construction firms create, manage and exploit innovation? what
practice-based models, tools and techniques support the capability
of small construction firms to innovate well? how does this fit in
the context of leading international work in construction
innovation? Findings are contextualised in the broader literature
to make them of relevance to policy makers, practitioners and
researchers interested in small, project-based firms in general.

joggers not available anywhere else - perfect for last-minute study
Topics covered in this book range from identifying threats,
attacks, and vulnerabilities to implementing the correct tools and
technologies to defend against these vectors; cryptography concepts
and deployment techniques to identity and access management;
security architecture and design principles to risk management.
This book brings together all the knowledge professionals need to
walk into the exam room with confidence - and pass their Security+
exams with flying colors.
Electricity and the inherent risks associated with its use in the
built environment have long since been a priority for the
electrical services industry and also the general public who must
live and work in this environment. By its nature, virtual reality
has the advantage of being safe for both the user and equipment. In
addition, it offers the user an opportunity to be exposed to a
range of scenarios and conditions that either occur infrequently or
are hazardous to replicate. This book presents the design process
of a desktop VR prototype, which was developed to demonstrate how
VR technology can be applied to the electrical services industry
and used to enhance electrical safety and design in the built
environment. The model presented has the potential to be used as an
educational tool for third level students, a design tool for
industry, or as a virtual electrical safety manual for the general
public.
