Abstract
There was a lot of talk at the NSF/CEM meeting about the gap between
practitioners and academics, about the need to market research results, the low
tolerance for risk among contractors, that sort of thing. We take a different view
of the gap. We see the gap as the direct result of a lack of theory for production
in construction.
In this brief presentation, we want to make the case that developing theory is
essential both for narrowing the gap with practitioners and for construction as a
discipline to gain standing as an academic discipline.
