Fundamentals of Project Management
I had the priviledge of going through this book while studying under Dr. Oberlender @ Oklahoma State and putting it to use once I graduated.The text is written in straight forward language and includes many practical "real world" situations.It includes all the basics from conceptualization to start-up.Topics such as organizing, planning, staffing, directing, and many more.An excellent reference for any manager's office. ...

Strategic capabilities can be born unintentionnally
A book that tries to highlight the role of system formation processes that aren't deliberately planned in Toyota. It is written after the author's past works on functional analysis of existing/planned manufacturing systemsin the automobile industry and Toyota in particular. The presentationadopts the evolutionary approach considering that manufacturing systemsaren't merely a product of deliberately planning. Some of Toyota'ssuccessful routines may have originated unintentionally. Social systemsoften evolve because of unanticipated events and unplanned behavior. Thisidea is related to system emergence, a concept central to his evolutionaryframework. What the author has presented and uncovered from Toyota'sexperience can be happened in other companies or may have been taken placein other companies. This is an example of work that we cannot find easilyfor other successful companies using an evolutionary approach, not strictlyin a neo-darwinian framework. This book gives us general idea on howcompany's organizational capabilities were born and helps us understandparticularly how Toyota has created its style manufacturing system andcapabilities. A book that is worth-reading not only by scholars andstudents in management and organizational science, but also by those beingactors in companies' building capabilities.

All does not read well that starts well and ends well
Starts off very well with the hope that it will get more technical butinstead becomes more theoretical in areas such as aesthetics and fine art,areas which the author seems to not have a background in. ie, hisdiscussion of perception, symmetry and balance etc. If you can skip themiddle chapters its not bad but again I had hoped for more technicalinsights. Perhaps I needed a book on golf course construction. I justassumed from architecture courses that construction issues andrecommendations as well as more detail of layout relative to game playwould be discussed.

Amazing!
This is one of five best technical books I ever found. As a beginner in golf course design, I found in this book all I needed to realize my projects.

Fascinating,
This is a fascinating book for any golf enthusiast or historian, as well as an essential practical resource for anyone actively involved in golf course design, construction and maintenance.Read more

Knowledge Management In The Construction Industry: A Socio-T
Knowledge Management In The Construction Industry: A Socio-Technical Perspectivepresents concepts, applications and case studies on how the construction industry is attempting to understand and then integrate concepts of knowledge management or innovation into their work and strategies. .This reader has seen many definitions. The author has settled on managing experience and insight as the definition that best fits the challenges faced by an industry where from 40 - 70% of the skilled workforce is retiring within the next 15-20 years, and the needto capture their experience and skills is critical.

Construction Contract Administration Review
This book will function as an excellent cookbook on industrial construction contract administration.Contract language, field notices, change orders, scheduling, etc. are all covered in great detail with easyto follow fill in the blanks forms.This bookis a "must have"for plant managers, plant purchasing agents, plant engineers, andconstruction company managers and supervisors.It is focused on the latestnon-computer based communication systems and will work well in mostindustrial construction settings. Guide to administering construction contracts
This book was written as a useful guide and reference to help Owner and Contractor personnel, students, and others associated with privately awarded construction contracts to achieve the often elusive goal of completing their contracts successfully (safely, on time, within thebudget, meeting design limits, and with no unresolved claims).
