Abstract
This paper presents a framework for developing a policy and guideline for equal-business-opportunity programs in the construction industry. The study was conducted by reviewing the current policy, political environment, and problems created in the industry. Then, relevant interest groups were interviewed to identify the components of an acceptable solution. The proposed policy provides an incentive that acts as a catalyst for its implementation, and it makes the awarding of a project more flexible.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
