Abstract

The construction industry, a major contributor to economic development, continues to face challenges and opportunities. This December 2024 issue of the Journal of Construction Business and Management features diverse research articles, bringing new perspectives and solutions to pressing issues within the construction industry, particularly how project success is shaped by the ethos of fair financial and contract practices, leadership, technology and price escalation. These articles were contributed by a total of 17 authors from Malaysia, Nigeria, South Africa and Zambia, highlighting the pathway towards enhancing the sustainability, integrity, and performance of the construction industry. Although the articles are contextualised on issues that are prevalent in developing countries, researchers worldwide would find these articles useful for their additionality to theory building, scientific rigour and construction as a global discourse.
