The Management of Construction Firms by Jacqueline Cannon

The Management of Construction Firms by Jacqueline Cannon

'A comprehensive selection of those aspects of management theory which could have some relevance to main contracting.' - Mark Callender, Building Employers' Confederation, The Business Economist This book is the first to bring together those aspects of modern theories of economics and management which are of particular relevance to the strategic behaviour of major contracting firms and it does so in a way which is easily understood by the non-specialist reader. It analyses the different behaviour of contracting firms which is due to the special characteristics of the construction industry.
