ABOUT THE BOOK
Construction Management in Practice written by Richard Fellows, David Langford, Robert Newcombe, Sydney Urry is published by Blackwell Science Ltd.
The first edition of Construction Management in Practice appeared in 1982. Since then there have been significant changes in the construction industry and its practices (outlined in chapter 1) and the new edition reflects these changes.
Trades unions have always been undermined in the construction industry by the self-employment system, which has increased in the last 20 years; this was exacerbated by the introduction of legislation to limit the power of unions during the Thatcher era. The chapter on industrial relations, whilst still dealing with the mechanics of collective bargaining, focuses more on management roles and empowerment of the work force.
Two chapters in the first edition on manpower planning and personnel management have been consolidated into a single chapter on managing people. The human resource management (HRM) function is still undervalued in most construction firms and the need to audit current and future needs for staff is often avoided by citing the need in the industry for firms to retain flexibility. The result is the well-known skill shortages, which the industry perpetually suffers. Until HRM issues are included in the strategic thinking and planning of construction firms, this problem will continue. This leads to the second aspect of HRM dealt with in this chapter - the need to attract and offer career development opportunities to young people. Staff and operative levels are discussed, as is the recent use of learning networks to create learning organisations in the construction industry.
