<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>As with all previous editions of <i>Project Management in Construction, </i> this sixth edition focuses on systems theory as the approach suitable for organizing and managing people skilled in the design and completion of construction projects. It 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.</p> <p>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. 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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p><b>PROJECT MANAGEMENT</b> in Construction <p>6th Edition <p><b>Anthony Walker</b> <p>As with all previous editions of <i>Project Management in Construction</i>, this sixth edition focuses on systems theory as the approach suitable for organizing and managing people skilled in the design and completion of construction projects.
