This project was funded by Greater Manchester Aimhigher as one aspect of its remit in relation to raising aspirations and attainment. Foundation degrees, as a new work related qualification, were provided nationally from 2001. In general, however,... Read More about Mapping foundation degrees.

The use of ethnographic accounts for understanding culture in construction
Presentation / Conference
Rooke, J., & Seymour, D. The use of ethnographic accounts for understanding culture in construction. Presented at Joint Meeting of CIB Working Commissions W55/W65 and Task Groups TG23/TG31/TG35, University of Reading

Culture, in the sense of a way of life, is increasingly seen as a topic worthy of study within the construction management community. There are two major reasons for this: i) recognition that the changed practices which the industry is required to un...

Seeking evidence for the role of ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professional
Presentation / Conference
Rooke, J., Koskela, L., & Seymour, D. Seeking evidence for the role of ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professional. Presented at Second Annual Built Environment Education Conference (BEECON 2006), Recruitment and Retention:The Way Forward, The Bonnington Hotel, Bloomsbury, London

Shingo's (1988) seminal innovation in the theory of production management can be seen as a re-conceptualization of production as flow rather than transformation (Koskela 1992). These alternatives can in turn be regarded as reflections of opposing ont... Read More about Seeking evidence for the role of ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professional.
