Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Koskela, L. (2011, July). Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science. Presented at 19th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Lima, Peru

Modern management science has existed since 1959 when two reports (by Pierson and Gordon & Howell) on the future of business education were published in the US. At least since 1980, there has been a practically continuous, but somewhat fragmented dis... Read More about Fifty years of irrelevance: the wild goose chase of management science.

BIM adoption and implementation for architectural practices (2011)
Journal Article
Arayici, Y., Coates, S., Koskela, L., Kagioglou, M., Usher, C., & OReilly, K. (2011). BIM adoption and implementation for architectural practices. Structural survey, 29(1), 7-25. https://doi.org/10.1108/02630801111118377

Severe issues about data acquisition and management arise during the design creation and development due to complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. BIM (Building Information Modelling) is a tool for a team based lean design approach towards improved a... Read More about BIM adoption and implementation for architectural practices.

BIM implementation and adoption process for an architectural practice (2011)
Presentation / Conference
