Infos

This timely book provides an innovative study of the profound changes and latest challenges facing the construction sector. It adopts a socio-technical approach to analyse not only the role of technological factors, but also that of actors and their social dialogue and industrial relations. Digital Transitions and Innovation in Construction Value Chains investigates evolution within the construction sector relating to increased digitalization, including the growing use of smart devices and building information modeling (BIM) applications. Drawing on research from across Europe, chapters detail methodologies based on three main data sources: direct observation, documentary analysis and qualitative survey tools. Ultimately, they highlight the advantages and potential disadvantages of the role of social dialogue and collective bargaining for the democratic management of digitalization in the sector. Academics and researchers within the fields of economics, innovation and construction management will find the methodologies and conclusions presented within this book to be of great benefit. Practitioners in the construction sector will also appreciate the insights offered.
