Abstract
The technique of strategic planning is discussed and the conceptual frameworks adopted by writers on construction industry development are categorized. Plans formulated for developing the industry in Singapore are reviewed. Finally, a more appropriate approach to the formulation of a strategy for improving the performance of the construction industry in Singapore is offered and lessons from Singapore’s experience for developing countries outlined. It is suggested that the strategy should aim to exploit the nation's total experience and resources.

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
