    I got thrown out of there.



    P.S. I think you've got the wrong sort of "contractor". We ain't brickies or plasterers or drywalling operatives.

    FTFY

    No, it's fecked.

    Loughborough is well known for its enormous number of male individuals wearing Jack Wills/Abercrombie attire. These are often found to be matched with flip-flops, floppy hats, and very very gay little shorts. This extremely homosexual way of dressing only encourages more and more 'men' to attend the university, furthering the very serious cock-fest issue. One would not be ashamed/wrong for thinking Loughborough University to be an ACTUAL cock-fested gang-bang, with a few girls interspersed - just for jokes.

    I as going to delete him but liked the 'outsourcing in other industries' bit.

    And I thought that our posters might enjoy adding their thoughts to the research

    I dunno... Modern education, eh?

    "There is no literature on the subject, so can you tell me the answers please..."

    Surely the correct question is "Why is there no literature on the subject?". That might even be more informative and useful than the original thesis.

    BTW, as I'm sure you are aware, subbing and outsourcing are not comparable activities. The former delegates the activity and retains the responsibility, the latter delegates the activity and the responsibility. Architects outsource to builders, builders sub brickies.

    Did you ask Admin in advance of posting?

    That would have been nice...

  • Dissertation Questionnaire for Construction Employees

    I am currently undertaking a research dissertation into the relationships between subcontracting in the construction industry and outsourcing in other industries. The dissertation has found that despite subcontracting being common for a while, there is not very much literature on the subject whilst there is an abundance of literature on outsourcing.

    By completing this questionnaire you are filling the void of information in the area and assisting the completion of the research. There are only 11 questions so it should not take up more than 10 minutes of your time.

    Thank you in advance,

    Michael
