This study presents the principles of relational contracting practicalities and a series of case studies.

Recenzje

'Academic audiences would find the research dimensions of the book inspiring, in particular the thorough review of the construction literature on cooperative procurement strategies. The inclusion of case studies provides the often-neglected vital link between theory and practice, thus offering practitioners, especially those who are sceptical of relationship management in construction, useful references.' - Construction Management and Economics
