Merging academic research and industry requirements for innovative construction management practices in Sri Lanka : a study on critical success factors (2020)
Journal Article
critical success factors. International Journal of Construction Education and Research, 18(1), 32-48. https://doi.org/10.1080/15578771.2020.1781303

The application of a ‘knowledge-based economy’, which is a mainstream theory in many sectors, is rarely visible in the construction industry, especially in developing countries. Accordingly, the negative consequence of weak academic-industry interac...
