Although this has been an established analytical technique in the US for some time, it is only now being developed in the UK. Having spent nearly two decades investigating major project relationships using SNA, the author has brought together mathematical and sociological methods, and major project relationships in a manner that will inspire both academic interest and a desire to applyConstruction industrySocial aspectsGreat BritainProject managementGreat BritainBusiness logisticsGreat BritainSocial networksGreat BritainConstruction industrySocial aspectsProject managementBusiness logisticsSocial networks624.068/4Pryke Stephen1628721MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824579703321Social network analysis in construction3990668UNINA
