Synopsis

This book helps build up a body of FM knowledge by providing access to the key issues (e.g. partnering, new patterns of working, e-commerce), as well as the sharing experience of leading practitioners. For example, the growth of private finance initiatives has wide implications for FM: how should facility managers deal with PFI and the long-term use of buildings? Opinions from major players in the field are given - both academics and practitioners - providing invaluable insights.
