Repave of Historic Space Shuttle Runway Tests Study To Boost Construction-Team Performance Publication Date: 14-JAN-09 Author: Debra K. Rubin Format: HTML

Description:
The role of people rather than process in boosting both project and corporate results in the construction industry is gathering momentum as an emerging area of study called “social network analysis.” Researchers are now studying projects and companies to determine how poor communication and too much focus on an “engineering approach” undermine more stellar performances. Some say development of the SNA concept could transform the industry.
