A window on management training within the construction industry

Presents the findings of an investigation into the attitudes of civil engineers and their companies towards modern management practices. Contractors are moving rapidly to meet the challenges of a modern business world and are making full use of the tools available. Consultants, however, are lagging behind in their attitudes and are slower in embracing the theories and practices involved. The investigation has raised as many questions as have been answered but sufficient information has been provided to make the reader think seriously about the subject of management, and the training of managers within the construction industry.
