Kaya, S (2005) Development of a classification system for client FM organisations in the United Kingdom. PhD thesis, University of Salford, UK.
Abstract
Classification is the most important step in conducting scientific enquiry. It enables us to recognise, identify and conceptualise behaviours, events, occurrences, objects or phenomena. Yet, classification has not been developed for Facilities Management (FM). This Thesis investigates demand side of Facilities Management by introducing a classification system for client FM organisations, which are currently perceived as irrelevant to each other, operating in their own territory with no other reference than their context organisation.

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
