Description
This excerpt from the book "Performance Improvement in Construction Management: A Collection of Reviews" discusses how research in construction management can be improved by bridging the gap between industry and academia. The book provides a number of reviews of research projects that have been successful in bridging this gap.
Novel research in construction management is often distant from existing practice. This collection of reviews serves to bridge this gap under three major themes: innovation, organisation and human behaviour, and methods and tools. It outlines a series of successful collaborative projects between industry and the academic and research communities. Many of the authors have worked in technology transfer, as change agents, resolving industrially-relevant problems by using scientifically-based research. The book reveals the source of ideas, data and results to provide a useful resource for researchers, academics and graduate students, and a challenging guide for senior industry managers.
