Jeong, K S (2005) Good practice transfer within small construction specialist trade contractors. PhD thesis, University of Salford, UK.
Abstract
The importance of knowledge as a potential source of sustainable competitive advantage is increasingly appreciated by both policy-makers and practitioners. This issue is particularly pertinent to the construction industry, which represents a significant contribution to a nation's GDP and employment, but whose performance is repeatedly highlighted as unsatisfactory.

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
