In particular it explores and examines three different businesses: a medium sized construction firm; Wingårdh Architecture, Sweden's most prestigious architecture firm; and BESAB, a specialist concrete injection firm working on underground construction. An emerging theme is the situational and context-bound nature of knowledge in the construction industry, thus showing \"knowledge\" to be a remarkably heterogeneous concept.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA range of readers should find the book useful, from students and construction managers through to researchers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alexander Styhre\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138995568\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138995567\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Alexander Styhre","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447861817599,"sku":"9781138995567","price":65.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_312a8c69-8358-41d4-bc18-fdf5dc6a1972.jpg?v=1777235308","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/managing-knowledge-in-the-construction-alexander-styhre-9781138995567","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
