The Future of Construction Management Research

I find that I am online talking about construction management research as one of the Future Footprints taking at last year's Constructions Matter conference in Copenhagen Business School.

This is not a polished, or scripted presentation, or a particularly flattering video, but if you want to know my first reaction to a set of questions about construction research, then see below.

The questions about construction management research that were put to me are: What questions to abandon? What paradox to focus on? What's next? (I had a longer answer to the last question, but the editor keeps an extended version of the answer to the second question and cuts this off)
