- Abstract:
The buggy whip is a symbol of one of the world's oldest and largest industries—transportation. Little has changed in the buggy whip itself, yet the transportation industry has undergone significant changes. From the evolution of the wheel to man's landing on the moon, several quantum leaps have been achieved. Is the construction industry making the same quantum leaps? Despite significant events, we are executing construction projects in much the same manner as was done in the thirteenth century. If American industry is to compete on a global scale, it must increase its research and development activities manyfold.
