Partnering.

Abstract

'Partnering', or 'Strategic Partnering', is a management technique whereby a long term relationship is developed with a supplier, owner, contractor, etc. in order to derive mutual benefits developed through mutual trust and commitment. Partnering techniques have been used in many industries and are being increasingly used in the construction industry. Partnering techniques are defined differently in different industries, but all examples show several common traits such as mutual risk, trust, and reward. The scope of this report is to examine the technique of partnering in several industries and contrast these uses with current use in the construction industry. In particular, a specific type of construction partnering used by the Department of Defense will be examined.
