Description
Project Management in Construction by Anthony Walker provides a comprehensive approach to organizing and managing construction projects. This sixth edition focuses on systems theory as the most suitable method for handling complex project management issues, including those related to clients, stakeholders, and project participants. The book explores various competing paradigms and alternative perspectives, such as differentiation and integration, as well as emerging concepts like temporary organizations and their relevance to construction project management. It also delves into sustainability issues, supply chain management, partnering, and the evolving nature of construction organization structures. By examining these aspects, this edition aims to enhance the application of organization studies to practical construction project management concerns, providing valuable insights for professionals in the field.
