Total Facilities Management by Brian Atkin
Bridging the gap between the theory of facilities management and its implementation, this book raises issues which all practitioners should consider before embarking on a particular plan. It shows the link between facilities management practice and an organisation's business objectives, and deals with issues known to concern practitioners. This new edition will add chapters on change management, workplace productivity and research and development.
