Abstract
This paper commences with a brief review of the work of CIB Working Commission 92 to date which will pick out past themes and major developments and will culminate in a discussion of likely future directions for the working commission, in particular, and procurement systems research in general. The theme of the W92 symposium in Montreal, Innovation, will be addressed and the emerging issues in procurement systems analysed and discussed within this context. The aim of the discussion and analysis will be to try to answer the question "where is procurement systems research going to?"

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
