Description

Project Management in Construction Sixth Edition
by Anthony Walker (Author)

As with all previous editions of Project Management in Construction Sixth Edition focuses on systems theory as the approach suitable for organizing and managing people skilled in the design and completion of construction projects.

Project Management in Construction Sixth Edition discusses the many competing paradigms and alternative perspectives available, for example in relation to differentiation and integration, as well as the emerging study of temporary organizations and its relevance to construction project management.

Whilst encompassing the need to develop further theoretical aspects of construction project organization theory, this edition has also enhanced the application of organization studies to practical issues of construction project management.

More emphasis has been placed on the added complexity of construction project management by issues surrounding clients and stakeholders, and the control and empowerment of project participants.

Project Management in Construction Sixth Edition:

Additional focus has been placed on sustainability issues as they impinge on construction project management, on reworked views on supply chain management and on developments in partnering, together with clarification of the shifting terms and definitions relating to construction organization structures and their uses.

As the sixth edition of this book makes its appearance, the challenge of managing construction projects to successful outcomes continues unabated throughout the world.
