"The book sets out deliberately to challenge current directions in construction management,
confronting the assumption that knowledge is uni-dimensional and accumulative. It
will be argued that any understanding of construction management depends upon a critical
orientation that does not subjugate understanding to performance. The book will initially
set out the justification for adopting a critical perspective with reference to the
broader literature on Construction Management Studies. Current trends in construction
management will be set in the context of social, economic and political change over
the past thirty years. A recurring theme throughout the book will be the complex interplay
between the espoused managerial rhetoric and the realities of structural change in
the construction sector. The discourse of construction management shapes, and is shaped
by, the changing reality of the workplace. Linkages will also be made to the emergence
of the enterprise culture and rhetoric of the global marketplace. Following the development
of a critical perspective on construction management as a whole, specific chapters
will be devoted to: business process re-engineering, lean construction, partnering,
collaborative working, performance measurement and the assumed need for culture change"
