Rashid, K B A and Morledge, R (1999) Strategies to remove or alleviate constraints affecting the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia. Journal of Construction Procurement, 5(1), pp. 27-41. ISSN 1358-9180
Abstract
This paper is focused upon the development, appraisal and validation of strategies to remove or alleviate the constraints identified in resources and functions within the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia. This is achieved by the development of methodologies for this purpose, which could be repeated in time or adopted in other countries. Respondents in the study were Malaysian organizations involved in the processes of construction procurement in Malaysia. A range of strategies was identified which could be implemented to remove or to alleviate the constraints identified in construction procurement processes. In supporting the proposed strategies, respondents emphasize the important role of government in implementing the strategies to ensure that sufficient importance is given to the strategies and that adequate pace is achieved in their implementation.

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
