Harvesting and Managing Knowledge in Construction

A successful construction business is a knowledge business. And knowledge must be managed effectively to be used efficiently, especially in a complex project-oriented business such as construction, where skills acquired and lessons learned on one project need to be applied to the next. A holistic approach to knowledge management (KM) is taken in this book to incorporate all of the relevant themes, tackling technological, socio-cultural and organizational issues, with the creation of value as a focus throughout. Information is drawn from a broad range of sources to explain core theories and provide guidance on practical application. Topics covered include: <ul>
<li>changing business relationships in a knowledge economy</li> <li>knowledge creation processes and theories</li> <li>data, text and knowledge mining techniques</li> <li>the learning construction organization</li> <li>future technology for knowledge management.</li>
</ul>
Written by the authors of the first EU-funded KM research project in the field of construction, this textbook is uniquely well-researched, and is the perfect introduction to KM for students across the built environment. It is also a crucial guide to the topic for practitioners.

Tenoclock is a sleepy Colorado tourist town where Johnnie Baker always closes the police station at 11:00 p.m.--until one night Johnnie's routine is shattered by a jail brawl, a missing persons report, and a lot of "facts" that do not add up

Missing at Tenoclock

Laura couldn't believe it. Well, yes she could: Why shouldn't she suddenly be told that an acting troupe was coming to Timberdale to perform a mystery play, one in which the residents of the retirement center would participate by playing detectives. Maude Thuringer was going to love it. She was collecting clues already and the show was still in the planning stages. In the meantime, Laura just had to take care of the details... When J. Turner Redwine and his group show up, Laura realizes that the details are the least of her worries: There's so much backbiting, jealousy, thievery, chicanery, and debauchery going on, it's a wonder the troupe ever has time to rehearse. Redwine is full of surprises, all of them nasty. But he does do one thing that makes the Timberdale residents a happy group: He announces that he's retitled his play, and one of the actors is going to portray a newcomer to the center... and then wind up dead! What he doesn't know at the time is who is going to be the victim and that the body isn't just going to be a part of a play but of a murder most foul. Timberdale hasn't seen so much excitement in, well, oh so long, and Maude just loves having another real case to work on. Now, if they could only find that sweet Laura...
