Routledge Managing Knowledge in the Construction Industry

Knowledge management offers a fresh perspective for understanding modern organizations, particularly within highly technical sectors. This book by Routledge explores how knowledge concepts apply directly to the construction industry, an area defined by the material transformation of nature into buildings. Drawing on hard data from three separate research programs conducted in Sweden, the text provides a practical look at how information and expertise function within construction operations. The research examines diverse business models, including a medium-sized construction firm, to demonstrate how knowledge management works in real-world settings. This resource is designed for those looking to understand the relationship between technical operations and organizational knowledge in a specialized industrial context.
