“…A comprehensive literature review of the published journal papers indicated that exploration into construction partnering primarily involved (1) refining partnering theory and process model (e.g., Abudayyeh 1994;Wilson et al 1995;Crowley and Karim 1995;Cheng and Li 2002;Anvuur and Kumaraswamy 2007); (2) reviewing research, development, and application of partnering worldwide (e.g., Bresnen and Marshall 2000a;Chan et al 2008;Eriksson and Nilsson 2008b); 3providing evaluation, strategies, and recommendations for partnering implementation (e.g., Matthews and Rowlinson 1999;Bresnen and Marshall 2000a;Koraltan and Dikbas 2002;; (4) identifying critical success factors or key characteristics of partnering (e.g., Cheng et al 2000;Black et al 2000;Chan et al 2004;Bresnen 2007); 5establishing partnering performance index and evaluating partnering performance (e.g., Gransberg et al1999;Crane et al 1999;Nyström 2008); and (6) examining the use of partnering across the entire construction supply chain (e.g., Dainty et al 2001;Palaneeswaran et al 2003;Packhamet al 2003;Beach et al 2005;Mason 2007). Table 6 portrays the major research evolution of the topics discussed by the papers in the 10 journals.…”

Over the past two decades, significant literature has been dedicated to research studies on construction partnering and related issues, and a plethora of underlying theories and industrial practices on partnering application have been reported. This paper aims to explore, analyze, and summarize the research trend of partnering related studies in construction using desktop search method from several leading construction-related journals. On the basis of an extensive and rigorous literature review, a series of partnering related journal articles published from 1989 to 2009 were analyzed in terms of the annual number of partnering related publications, the level of contributions made by various institutions and regions, and the research focus on their studies. A critical analysis of the reported literature revealed that, in general, the number of partnering related publications in these journals has been increasing from 1989 to just before 2007 when the number of publications peaked. The findings might imply that partnering is becoming more and more important to the construction industry at large. This study also indicated that researchers from the United States published the largest number of partnering related papers on a regional basis, followed by those from the United Kingdom, Hong Kong (China), Sweden, Australia, Mainland China, and Korea. Research topics published in these journals tend to focus on partnering conceptual models, reviews of partnering development and application, potential benefits of and barriers to implementation, critical success factors, and partnering performance measurement and evaluation, together with use of partnering across the construction supply chain, while the quantitative research techniques applied to this field of study involve primarily regression analysis, analytic hierarchy process (AHP), analytic network process (ANP), fuzzy set theory, and balanced scorecard method.
