Communication within project-based environments presents special challenges. This is especially true within the construction industry; where interaction tends to be characterised by unfamiliar groups of people coming together for short periods before disbanding to work on other endeavours. This book examines communication at a number of levels ranging from interpersonal interactions between project participants to corporate communication between organizations. Several non-typical perspectives on the process of communication are introduced to encourage the reader to think about communication in a more innovative manner. The combination of differing perspectives illustrates the diversity of communication problems facing those working within project-based environments. Practical guidance is provided on possible solutions to communication problems; and a number of examples and case studies are presented.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not what Id hopedBy xyzEach chapter should just be a chapter heading. VERY little meat. As someone born and raised in Ossining in the 50s and 60s; and with family ties to Warden Lawes; I know there is a TREMENDOUS amount that wasnt included. The story of why all those grand homes were sold or demolished; and who gave the approval; could be a book in itself. The history of Sing Sing IS a book in itself--along with the fact that electrocution was first known as Westinghousing...until the Rosenbergs came along.The photos were grainy at best. I guess I wouldnt have minded so much if it were a $4.95 pamphlet; but selling it for this price as a book is more than disappointing; it should be embarrassing to those who consider it a book; and who set its price.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
