Abstract
The key factors of successful application of the performance excellence model (PEM) in construction enterprises are explored from the angle of internal and external collaboration. A systematic review is employed to define the foundation of the PEM and to examine which part of the PEM can be problematic when it is applied in construction. Next, according to the research paradigm of grounded theory, TS Group is taken as a representative case to analyse the specific application of the PEM. Encoding and analysing the interview data enable the process and results chain for PEM implementation to be refined. With the help of a canonical model, the logical relationships among phenomenon, action strategy, and control results are displayed. Finally, the optimal operational framework for each key factor is designed to reveal their corresponding causal conditions, context and effect mechanism.,

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
