Producing things or production flows? Ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professionals in construction (2007)
Journal Article

New approaches to production management can be conceptualized as treating production as flow rather than transformation. These alternatives can in turn be regarded as reflecting opposing ontological positions, holding respectively that reality is con... Read More about Producing things or production flows? Ontological assumptions in the thinking of managers and professionals in construction.

Urban information integration for advanced e-Planning in Europe (2007)
