| Abstract: |
| Construction procurement systems exhibit patterns of power disposition of various parties with shifting focal points. The nature of the project organisation, being a temporary multi-organisation, gives rise to a potential interplay of multi-organisational power relations. The present study aims to reveal the relationship between the project manager's power and performance and whether the different procurement systems give rise to different degrees of power-resistance/obedience in terms of management control. |

| Abstract: |
| To test empirically selected realtionships surrounding PF arrangements in Asian developing countries, focusing on two phenomena: the financial structure of PFs (specially the level of debt), and transaction costs of PF arrangements when legal, regulatory and political institutions are underdeveloped. Two questions are to be addressed empirically: 1) is the institutional and informational infrastructure in transition economies stable enough to finance a project through PF arrangements? 2) Can the specially designed institutions and additional financial intermediaries control the transaction costs of PF arrangements in poor institutional environment? |

| Start Date: | 09/1995 |
| Abstract: |
| To introduce BM techniques to various Hong Kong contractors and assist them to implement such techniques on Hong Kong construction sites. The research output of this work will be to incorporate and compare the results of the contractor-based studies with the Department of Surveying's own results. |

| Start Date: | 11/2002 |
| Abstract: |
| This research seeks to explore the transaction cost impact within the supply chains that may be observed on large projects. The aim is to develop a sustainable framework which will assess and facilitate optimum organisation of firms to reduce transaction costs in the construction supply chain without detriment to other project aims, e.g. time, quality, safety, etc. |

| Abstract: |
| To establish culturally derived attributes (attitudes, perceptions etc.) of people working on construction projects and to monitor: (i) the ways they are expressed or enacted in the course of the project and (ii) the ways in which they are modified in t he course of the project. The attitudes and perceptions considered will related to occupations and firms; incidence of, reasons for and methods of preempting and resolving disputes and conflicts; to establish, monitor and measure, where possible, objec tive manifestations of culture and cultural change. |

| Start Date: | 11/2004 |
| Abstract: |
| To conduct an international comparison based on the development of a framework within which the determinants of performance in project teams can be assessed. The methodology currently being pursued allows for the testing of the proposition that national and organisational cultures, organisational structing, collaboration and commitment all interact to produce a project culture (see, for example, Phua, 2002 and Shields & West, 2003). |

| Abstract: |
| To develop and test a framework within which the determinants of performance in project teams can be assessed; to investigate how such a culture may be developed and enhanced by considering, at project outset, the set of team characteristics; to understand how collaborative culture acts as a catalyst for improved project performance is to assess what vital characteristics of those collaborative practices at the project level that are associated with the production of innovations that lead to new understandings, negotiations, norms and practices. |
