New forms of organisation are emerging in the construction industry - from partnering to virtual teams. There is a growing need to consider project organisational structures carefully. This book differs from the many other texts on project management by concentrating on the challenges of devising relevant structures for project management. It examines the diverse factors to be considered when determining an initial overall organisation for new construction projects. It also looks at how to vary the o 606 $aConstruction industry$xManagement 606 $aProject management 606 $aOrganizational behavior 606 $aConstruction$xIndustrie$xGestion 606 $aProjets de de?veloppement industriel 606 $aComportement organisationnel 615 0$aConstruction industry$xManagement. 615 0$aProject management. 615 0$aOrganizational behavior. 615 6$aConstruction$xIndustrie$xGestion. 615 6$aProjets de de?veloppement industriel. 615 6$aComportement organisationnel. 676 $a624.0684 676 $a624/.068/4 700 $aMoore$b David$g(David R.)$0977312 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910841333403321 996 $aProject management$92226358 997 $aUNINA
