    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This Research Companion explores the evolution, current state and future of the body of knowledge on the construction industry in developing countries, offering comprehensive coverage of the subject along with the complementary Research Companion to Advances in the Construction Industry in the Global South. It draws on novel analytical approaches to highlight the crucial role of construction in economic growth and national development and reiterate the need to develop the industry.


    Fresh perspectives are presented on both foundational and emerging scholarship evaluating the interactions and synergies between established and new components of construction in developing country contexts. Chapters trace the root causes of factors hindering project performance and propose potential solutions and effective strategies for industry improvements. Grounded in a wide variety of case studies, this Research Companion outlines valuable lessons for bolstering economic development now and in the future.


    Scholars and students of construction management and economics will benefit from this Research Companion’s insights and proposed research directions. Its relevant policy options also make it an essential resource for administrators and policymakers in the construction industry.
