Description
Despite the growth of huge national home builders and industry consolidation that accompanied it, Bigger Isn t Necessarily Better shows that most builders did not improve their operational performance during the boom. As a result, the sector had a long way to fall as the economy collapsed about them. Given the importance of housing to the US economy, the book s lessons are critical to those in homebuilding as well as to policy makers, scholars, and the public."
