En studie av fagarbeiderens informasjonsbehov på byggeplass : En kvalitativ casestudie
2018
Masteroppgave industriell økonomi og teknologiledelse IND590 - Universitetet i Agder 2018 Kontekst: Veidekke Agder bygger videregående skole i Tvedestrand, hvor det er gjort innkjøp av digitale verktøy som kan formidle informasjon til og fra fagarbeideren.
