Substantial changes have occurred in the industry since the book was first published in 1991.

The book will provide a valuable tool for the strategic development of construction firms.

One can not but wonder if publication of a work on strategic planning some twenty year earlier might have saved some of them." Construction Manager

"The book presents the essential elements for managing at this higher level and should be a must for any construction professional who aspires to an executive position in industry as well as any student for construction management, project management and organizational management in construction. It comes highly recommended" Engineering, Construction and Architectural Management
