Construction PM & Legal Professional - Disappointed
I am a construction professional (16-year PM and 5-year construction attorney), but I wanted to better understand the precise application of professional business methods and procedures to the construction industry. General MBA books cover topics, such as strategy, operations, finance, risk, economics, and accounting, which are MBA course topics. However, these general MBA books are largely focused on standard production operations - as opposed to construction.I hoped this book would bridge the gap, specifically applying these business topics to construction, but I was disappointed. This book contains some useful information in the finance section, but most of the book is anecdotal (e.g. "this is how it should be as I see it"), self-referential (e.g. much of the "studies" are informal and from the author), and references other books (e.g. instead of covering a relevant topic, the author refers you to another one of his books).Unless you are clueless about the construction industry, which I presume you are not because this an advanced set of topics, then I would avoid this book. Instead, buy a good construction business book and a general MBA book, such as The Ten Day MBA, applying MBA topics to construction yourself.I hope this helps.
