According to the recently published Facility Management: Risks and Opportunities, by Bev Nutt & Peter McLennan, facilities management is now one of the fastest growing professional disciplines. This book aims to build up a distinctive body of FM knowledge and practice, so FMs do not have to rely on management knowledge borrowed from other disciplines.
It examines the key issues, from e-commerce to PFI, drawing on expert opinions from major FM players who provide insights into current and emerging best practice. The editors have linked the four key attributes of FM (business, people, property, and knowledge), covering how to relate FM issues to business objectives and how to create a secure platform for innovation in FM. The 304-page, hardback book is available from Blackwell Science Asia. Contact their customer services department at info@blacksci-asia.com.au.
