Abstract
How far do theoretical descriptions of the role and function of
facilities managers match practical applications? Reviews four quite
separate and distinctive cases in the light of the strategic, tactical
and operational aspects of a facilities manager′s work. Concludes that
attention to detail is of prime importance, that senior management must
show greater understanding of the strategic importance of the facilities
role and that, though fundamental problems are common to all the cases,
the solutions differ in each case and knowledge of detail becomes the
vital skill.
