Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: European countries are currently involved in several irregular migration systems, resulting in undocumented populations estimated at several millions. They manage to live and work for years without a certified identity -- a phenomenon that challenges existing notions of political statehood and societal membership. Drawing on empirical studies carried out in a variety of settings, the authors of this illuminating study analyse the ways in which such irregular migration systems developed over time, interacting with changes in European labour markets, welfare regimes and immigration policies.

Book Synopsis The Pursuit of Pleasurable Work by : Trevor H. J. Marchand

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of an alienating, technologizing and ever-accelerating world of material production, this book tells an intimate story: one about a community of woodworkers training at an historic institution in London’s East End during the present ‘renaissance of craftsmanship’. The animated and scholarly accounts of learning, achievement and challenges reveal the deep human desire to create with our hands, the persistent longing to find meaningful work, and the struggle to realise dreams.

Book Synopsis Collaborative Relationships in Construction by : Hedley Smyth
Download or read book Collaborative Relationships in Construction written by Hedley Smyth and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-01-28 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book collects the latest research on both contractual andconceptual collaborative practices in construction. It identifiescommon problems faced by the industry and draws out practicalimplications. Construction projects are increasingly run in ways thatundermine the traditional boundary of the firm and sometimes alsothe definition of the project coalition. This poses challenges forconstruction firms whose clients demand ever increasing performanceimprovements as well as those firms who want to improve theirstrategies for greater collaboration to give themselves competitiveadvantage. The editors identify three main themes: collaborativerelationships, operating both in frameworks and within networks ofcontacts, e.g. relational contracting in partnering, supply chainmanagement and other procurement-driven initiatives. The second theme is frameworks, both contractual frameworksbinding parties together over a series of contracts, and conceptualframeworks used to develop future performance improvement arisingfrom the proactive strategies of firms. The third theme is the network of relationships that supportsindividuals and firms within the project coalition in deliveringservices and adding value to improve performance. These networksdefine the investment and incentives supporting the inter-firm andintra-firm relationships, as well as the formal contractualconditions through which such incentives flow. Networks ofinformation exchange define the structure of the activity and helppredict organisational configurations for successful projectoutcomes.

Book Synopsis One death is too many by : Rita Donaghy
Download or read book One death is too many written by Rita Donaghy and published by Stationery Office. This book was released on 2009-07-08 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 211 men died in the construction industry in the three year period 2005-06 to 2007-08. This "unacceptable level of fatalities" led to the commissioning of this inquiry, though Rita Donaghy remarks that there is no public sense of shock at the regular toll of fatalities in the industry and there is a need to raise the profile of these tragedies so that a construction fatality becomes socially unacceptable. The construction industry generally is modelled to provide maximum flexibility. Consequently the majority of functions are contracted out and at least 40 per cent of workers are self-employed or in the Construction Industry Scheme. The advantages are obvious in that it reduces overheads and some commentators argue that it improves profitability and productivity. The disadvantages are that it becomes more difficult for a safety culture to flourish, worker engagement is weak, employment security and continuity is minimal and skills training is at best patchy. The findings of the Review's investigation of a number of case studies reveal a combination of factors for each fatal accident of which the most frequently cited are: (a) the incidence of training factors, experience; (b) information and advice deficiencies; (c) risk perception; (d) rescheduling of work without planning; (e) minor / one-off jobs; (f) compliance; (g) equipment operability, space, personal protective equipment (PPE) issues and tools not designed to fit the user / task. 28 recommendations are made.

Book Synopsis Construction Stakeholder Management by : Ezekiel Chinyio
Download or read book Construction Stakeholder Management written by Ezekiel Chinyio and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-10-22 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book captures best practice in construction stakeholdermanagement using a range of international case studies. Itdemonstrates stakeholder mapping, presents the power/interestmatrix and analyses a model for the timely engagement ofstakeholders. The increased use of partnering and other relational forms ofcontracting have underlined the need for project participants towork together and also to be aware of all those who can affect orbe affected by a project and its associated developments.Stakeholder management enables them to see this wider picture andprovides guidance for managing the diverse views and interests thatcan manifest in the course of a project’s life. All construction projects have the potential for conflicts ofinterest that can result in costly and damaging legal proceedings.This new book advocates an alternative to dispute resolution thatis proactive, practical and global in its application.Construction Stakeholder Management is therefore anessential text for advanced students, lecturers, researchers andpractitioners in the built environment.
