DBE’s sterling performance in CM Research in the EduRank.org global rankings is highlighted in International Construction Management Research, a book authored by Dr Igor Martek and published by Routledge (2024). The book describes “NUS as a major global legacy in construction management teaching and research.”
The book also singled out three current faculty members from DBE alongside the above rankings. In order of appearance, it describes Professor Low Sui Pheng as “highly esteemed in construction management education, has actively pursued research in international construction management and is a pioneer in the field. In 1990, he published a profiling of the global construction industry.” The book highlights Professor Hwang Bon Gang’s significant publications on “international construction joint ventures from a Singaporean perspective.” The book also highlights Professor Florence Ling Yean Yng’s publication of “a greater number of papers in the field, authoring some of the discipline’s most significant studies regarding the strategic, management, and performance dimensions of construction firms active in offshore environments.”
As the results from the book’s global analysis affirmed, “Singapore is a powerhouse of international construction management research”. DBE has significantly contributed to making this possible.
