Opis

Students studying construction management and related subjects need to have a broad understanding of the major aspects of controlling the building processes. This is one of a group of three textbooks (business organisation, operations management, and finance and control) written to systematically cover the field.

With a user-friendly style and a strong theoretical base, Business Organisation for Construction provides readers with some of the tools required to skillfully and successfully operate a business in today's construction industry. Arranged into three sections, March explains:

• strategy and vision, business finance and the market place
• the organisation, recruitment, support, motivation and leadership of people
• communication and negotiation.

With a wealth of practical construction industry experience, March provides rich anecdotal evidence to enlighten the theory, as well as illustrations and tables to clarify. Available singly or as part of a set, Business Organisation for Construction is a valuable resource for construction students.
