Workshops as embyronic boundary objects for collaborative university-industry innovation in construction

Carrillo, P M and Dainty, A R J (2012) Workshops as embyronic boundary objects for collaborative university-industry innovation in construction. In: Smith, S D (ed.) Proceedings of 28th Annual ARCOM Conference, 3-5 September 2012, Edinburgh, UK.

Abstract

The authors participated in different capacities in a project originally conceived for the transfer of knowledge from university-based research to the engineering-construction industry. The project’s original aim was 'to collect knowledge from across the [AU - Stokes, C

Descriptive scope: 3 PCT

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
