Riassunto

'Partnering' - increasing the level of collaboration between construction clients, contractors and suppliers - has been highlighted as a way of radically improving the performance of the British construction industry. This report is the first in-depth exploration of the managerial processes involved in partnering between clients and construction firms in Britain. Drawing on the partnering arrangements of BP, McDonald's, NatWest, Safeway and Selfridges, which involve over 40 construction firms, Towards positive partnering:explores the 'partnering' concept and the context for its emergence in the UK;considers the reasons why clients and their partners choose partnering, the methods by which partners are selected, and how the partnership relationship is negotiated;focuses on how various partnering relationships are managed;looks at the benefits and problems of partnering;discusses the implications of partnering for the British construction industry.The report concludes that although partnering is not easy to undertake, nor are its benefits necessarily as transparent as some suggest, it is, nonetheless, a positive development for the construction industry. Towards positive partnering is essential reading for construction industry professionals, policy makers and academics in economics, business and construction departments.
