It helps readers to understand the fundamentals of non-traditional procurement, and highlights the inherent communication challenges that arise, as well as how to solve them. The book is divided into four parts, the first of which provides an introduction to communication, discussing the theoretical concepts and contextual nature of communication as well as its benefits. The second part goes into more depth, discussing communication in the context of construction project delivery and non-traditional procurement systems, what these two terms actually mean, and what effective communication looks like in these contexts. Part III offers solutions to the inherent challenges of communication, including the use of information and communications technology, while the book?s fourth and final part explores the future of construction communication. Given the scope of its content, the book represents a valuable asset for researchers, professionals and students in the areas of procurement management and construction management. 606 $aBuilding?Superintendence 606 $aConstruction industry?Management 606 $aConstruction superintendence 606 $aEngineering economics 606 $aEngineering economy 606 $aBusiness logistics 606 $aConstruction Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23039 606 $aEngineering Economics, Organization, Logistics, Marketing$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T22016 606 $aLogistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519020 606 $aSupply Chain Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/519030 615 0$aBuilding?Superintendence. 615 0$aConstruction industry?Management. 615 0$aConstruction superintendence. 615 0$aEngineering economics. 615 0$aEngineering economy. 615 0$aBusiness logistics. 615 14$aConstruction Management. 615 24$aEngineering Economics, Organization, Logistics, Marketing. 615 24$aLogistics. 615 24$aSupply Chain Management. 676 $a624.0684 700 $aKwofie$b Titus Ebenezer$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0995888 702 $aAigbavboa$b Clinton$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aThwala$b Wellington$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910407728903321 996 $aEffective Construction Project Delivery$92282083 997 $aUNINA
