- Abstract:
Conflict and change can have considerable impact on the success or otherwise of construction projects. Examples of conflict and project change have been collected in structured interviews within a series of organizations which are clients of construction activities. A methodology which uses a process of hierarchical decomposition has been developed for classifying this data and rendering it suitable for subsequent analysis. The result presented in the paper are of a preliminary investigation and lend weight to the hypothesis that the creative management of conflict and change can benefit construction industry clients.
