Accounting for Construction: Frameworks, Productivity, Cost and Performance
Editat de Rick Best, Jim Meikleen Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 apr 2019
Taken together, the two volumes collate a range of topics that are only addressed, if addressed at all, in occasional academic papers and the publications of bodies such as national statistical offices and the World Bank. Accounting for Construction presents international examples from the UK, Australia and New Zealand and from both academic and professional contributors.
This book is essential reading for all researchers and professionals interested in construction economics, construction management, and anyone interested in how the construction industry affects the global economy in ways previously under-represented in the literature.
