| description | The needs for construction industry development are initially viewed from the broader perspectives of imperatives
for infrastructure development and national development. All these are clearly more critical in developing countries.
A non-exhaustive set of potential drivers and common barriers to construction industry development is identified
from previous research. These suggest the usefulness of consolidating a cluster of recent proposals and exercises
aiming at (a) construction organisation development in terms of an over-arching management support system
model, as well as improved information and knowledge management; and (b) project team development in the
context of relationally integrated teams and supply chains, joint risk management and ‘technology and knowledge
exchange’ in joint ventures, as well as longer term public private partnerships. These apparently disparate research
thrusts are threaded together into a pattern that may inspire, if not feed, specific research and development (R&D)
agendas for construction industry development in different countries according to their own priorities, constraints
and stages of infrastructure and national development. |
