SDGs in Construction Economics and Organization
This book examines how research in construction economics and organization contributes to the achievement of the SDGs. Featuring selected contributions from the 11th Nordic Conference on Construction Economics and Organisation (CREON 2022) held in Copenhagen, Demark and Malmö, Sweden, the contributions of this book explore the ways in which research in construction economics and organization assists in building resilient infrastructure, fostering green innovations and contributes to sustainable economic growth. Each contribution relates to one or more individual SDG and describes how the research contributes to the understanding of construction management and economics.
Clients and Users in Construction
Clients have been identified as critical for building delivery but have been under-researched with only a few studies about them. This book seeks to address this gap. A deeper look into the nature of construction clients and their relation to building users exposes more fundamental questions related to the activity of building and the activity in the building. These fundamental questions include 'How do clients get what they want?', 'How do clients cope with the building process?', and 'How are clients being shaped by building(s)?'. This book on clients and users is structured around three main themes: Agency is concerned with the classical agency/structure dichotomy on actions, roles and re...
Mass Customisation and Personalisation in Architecture and Construction
Challenged by the recent economic crisis, the building and construction industry is currently seeking new orientation and strategies. Here mass customisation is uncovered as a key strategy in helping to meet this challenge. The term mass customisation denotes an offering that meets the demands of each individual customer, whilst still being produced with mass production efficiency. Today mass customisation is emerging from a pilot stage into a scalable and sustainable strategy... The first dedicated publication of its kind, this book provides a forum for the concept within an applied and highly innovative context. The book includes contributions from some of the most prominent thinkers and practitioners in the field from across the world, including Kasper S. Vibaek, Steve Kendall, Martin Bechthold, Mitchell M. Tseng, and Masa Noguchi. Bringing together this panel of experts who have carried out research both in academia and practice, this book provides an overview of state-of-the-art practice related to the concept of customisation and personalisation within the built environment.
Recht und Innovation
Innovationen prägen die Gesellschaft und wandeln fortlaufend unseren Alltag. Gleichzeitig verlangen heutige Herausforderungen wie Klimawandel, Globalisierung und Digitalisierung nach innovativen Lösungen. Das Recht wird durch Innovationen oft herausgefordert, kann aber selbst auch innovativ sein. Der 21. APARIUZ-Band widmet sich der vielfältigen Wechselbeziehung zwischen Innovation und Recht in seiner ganzen Breite und fragt, wie das Recht die Gratwanderung zwischen Innovation und Rechtssicherheit schafft, als Innovationsförderer agiert und mit innovationsinduzierten Risiken umgeht. Die Beiträge selbst zeichnen sich durch ihre innovativen und interdisziplinären Ansätze aus. Die APARIUZ-Reihe ist ein Projekt des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses des Rechtswissenschaftlichen Instituts Zürichs.
Direito administrativo comparado - Desafios Metodológicos e questões jurídicas contemporâneas
Trata-se de uma obra coletiva, coordenada pela Professora Maria Tereza e financiada por edital específico do prestigiado PPGD/UFMG, que conta com a colaboração de coautores nacionais e estrangeiros, a refletir o resultado de um qualificado trabalho em rede de pesquisa internacional, o que eleva sobremaneira sua relevância acadêmica e institucional. Cumpre destacar a importância do eixo temático principal da obra, que discute aspectos metodológicos da pesquisa em Direito Administrativo comparado, tema que ainda está a carecer – e muito – de estudos e pesquisas de aprofundamento em nosso país, afora outras ricas abordagens de questões jurídicas contemporâneas, sempre a partir ...
Research Methodologies in Supply Chain Management
For reseach in all subjects and among different philisopical paradigms, research methodologies form one of the key issues to rely on. This volume brings a series of papers together, which present different research methodologies as applied in supply chain management. This comprises review oriented papers that look at what kind of methodologies have been applied, as well as methodological papers discussing new developments needed to successfully conduct research in supply chain management. The third group is made up of applications of the respective methodologies, which serve as examples on how the different methodological approaches can be applied. All papers have undergone a review process ...
Reflexive Historical Sociology
This book reconstructs and brings together the work of a number of social and political theorists in order to gain new insight on the emergence and character of modern Western society. It examines the intersection point of social theory and historical sociology in a new theoretical approach called "reflexive historical sociology". There is analysis of the works of Max Weber, Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias, Eric Voegelin and a number of others. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 examines the works of Eric Voegelin, Norbert Elias, Lewis Mumford and Franz Borkenau. Part 2 is concerned with the major conceptual tools such as experience, liminality, process, symbolisation, figuration, order, dramatisation and reflexivity, and themes such as the history of forms of thought, subjectivity, knowledge and closed space and regulated time. Finally, the book examines the most important insights of the thinkers discussed, concerning the historical processes that led to modernity.
Building Chaos
This collection draws on international comparisons from the main industrialised countries in a key field - the construction industry. One only has to walk around almost any major city in the industrialised economies of the world to see how well the construction industry is doing and this study is an analysis of a growing field. This internationally focused book has contributions from leading experts and academics in the sphere of construction and analyses such themes as: the construction market over the last 40 years; trends in employment in the industry; the organization of work in construction; and rules and regulations that govern the industry.
Engaging Ethnographic Peace Research
While many have argued in the past decade that peace and conflict studies must engage more with local actors and communities, and scholars regularly describe the importance of local context and culture for building sustainable peace, there are substantial challenges methodologically to fulfilling this 'local turn'. Many peace and conflict studies scholars are inexperienced with methods appropriate for engaging with local communities, contexts and cultures, and many of the important institutions in the field, from key journals to important funders, exhibit a continuing preference for quantitative studies. The Ethnographic Peace Research (EPR) agenda has recently been developed in response to ...
