However, published data regarding the manner in which individuals interact within the temporary project team is scarce, with little other than anecdotal evidence available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRecognizing this gap, \u003cem\u003e Communication in Construction Teams\u003c\/em\u003e provides a comprehensive overview of the literature on interpersonal communication and delivers a critical review of various research methods previously used in and outside the construction management field. Making use of Bales' interaction process analysis (IPA), a tool used successfully in many fields to collect interaction data, the text investigates the link between successful projects and the effectiveness of communication, finding that participants in the construction process exhibit regular patterns of interaction and, most significantly, that there are different patterns of interaction associated with successful and unsuccessful projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting forward a number of practical suggestions to assist all actors involved in construction projects, this insightful publication will be of interest to researchers in the fields of building design and construction management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Emmitt,Christopher Gorse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415366194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415366199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/17\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.42w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2007 pg. 121","brand":"Stephen Emmitt","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086308847871,"sku":"9780415366199","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f17a6360-4ce7-4391-bad1-92e1596edd51.jpg?v=1769093944","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communication-in-construction-teams-stephen-emmitt-9780415366199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
