- Abstract
- Partnering is a proactive management process that integrates and optimizes the value-added services of each party to best achieve the business objectives of all parties within the relationship. Partnering is often referred to as the return to the use of common values and honorable business proactices that once were key elements of society in general. Partnering utilizes the concepts of teamwork, trust, and honesty in order to promote the common goals of the partnering relationship (PR) and to develop a win/win mentality and atmosphere for all parties involved. This research team had three objectives: 1. To identify and develop a set of measures to assess the benefits of partnering; 2. To determine partnering benchmarks for the construction industry; 3. To identify key success factors and barriers to the partnering implementation process. [*]Partnering ToolKit disk included with report.
