Now, though, the industry is adapting concepts of knowledge management to improve the situation. This book brings together 13 contributors from research and industry to show how managing construction knowledge can bring real benefits to organisations and projects. It covers a wide range of issues, from basic definitions and fundamental concepts, to the role of information technology, and en 606 $aConstruction industry$xInformation services 615 0$aConstruction industry$xInformation services. 676 $a690 701 $aAnumba$b C.
