ABSTRACT
Facilities Management (FM) and Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) are two closely related and relatively new management disciplines with developing international professions and increasing academic attention. Both disciplines have from the outset had a strong focus on controlling and reducing costs for property, work space and related services. In recent years there has been a change towards putting more focus on how FM/CREM can add value to the organisation. A EuroFM research group established in 2009 and chaired by Per Anker Jensen, Professor in Facilities Management and head of the Centre for Facilities Management (CFM) at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), has studied this development.
