Abstract

Welcome! This is Issue 1 of Volume 8 of the Journal of Construction Business and Management. The Issue brings together diverse studies that examine emerging-market contexts and how they shape construction management practice. Studies reported in the focus on topical issues ranging from contract drafting and claim handling to material choices and drivers of consumer behaviour. The papers collectively highlight the interdependencies among legal frameworks, project governance, market dynamics, and sustainability imperatives that define emerging markets and developing-country construction landscapes. These articles were contributed by 14 authors from Nigeria, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand and the United Kingdom.
