What are the implications of economic theory for the future of UK construction? How does the industry ensure innovation, quality and efficiency? What priorities might best serve the construction industry, those working in it and their customers?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn seeking answers to these and other questions, the UK government has commissioned a number of reports on the construction industry including the Latham and Egan reports and more recently \u003cem\u003eConstruction 2025\u003c\/em\u003e. These have invariably proposed time and cost targets for the construction industry. In this new book, Stephen Gruneberg stands in stark contrast to those reports and presents the relevant theoretical aspects of construction economics to account for the behaviour of construction firms and suggest a strategy for future growth and sustainability. He discusses the theory and data relating to the output of firms in relation to the type of firm, the market and how these firms behave as a result. The purpose of this book is to advocate the measures needed to create the kind of industry that must be fostered to ensure the quality of its output, sustainability and the fair terms and conditions of employment for its workforce. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGruneberg's new book is essential reading for anyone wishing to understand the economic forces that determine industry outcomes and who has a stake in the success of the UK construction sector. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Gruneberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032178485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032178486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 92\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.19d","brand":"Stephen Gruneberg","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443906949375,"sku":"9781032178486","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9b9fc6ab-c3d6-49e7-ad1e-42f9b62dd4dc.jpg?v=1777208682","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-strategic-approach-to-the-stephen-gruneberg-9781032178486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
