“…Some tools and techniques outlined here can be applied in one or even all the quadrants. Given the limited possibility to collaborate at the project level, contractors might implement the Last Planner System (LPS) in Q1 to achieve better collaboration with subcontractors at the operational level (Schöttle and Tillmann 2018). Moreover, contractors can create BIM models to detect clashes and for quantity take-off which is sometimes considered as the first step into BIM implementation.…”

The construction sector has been widely criticized for its low productivity, fragmented structure, and adversarial relationships. To address these problems, some industry actors are adopting innovations such as lean construction, digital technologies, and collaborative contracts. However, these transformative innovations are underpinned by interorganizational collaboration within complex supply chain networks. Understanding collaboration in theory and practice is a difficult task. Therefore, this study aims to investigate factors influencing collaboration and develop a model for inter-organizational collaboration. To achieve this aim, first, a literature review on collaboration in construction was conducted. Second, qualitative data were collected via semi-structured interviews using the critical incident technique. Third, data were deductively and inductively analyzed using thematic nodes. Data showed that collaboration can be classified into four dimensions: trust, project uncertainty management, client's operational capability, and business relationships. Finally, an empirical framework was constructed using the scenario technique. Client attributes and Supply Chain Capabilities were found to be the most influential and uncertain factors. Based on these, four collaboration scenarios were developed and assessed with illustrative implications derived from the empirical data. The scenario-based model would provide a further understanding of inter-organizational collaboration within supply chains and would aid Lean Construction practitioners to develop collaborative relationships.

“…Furthermore, the data of the WEIMS and MWMS demonstrates the importance of aligning goals, values, and regulations of the project delivery system with the individual and group goals, values, and regulations. Hence, according to Schöttle and Tillmann (2018), a process to define, set, and track goals should be installed to support collaboration. This means that more attention needs to be focused on the environment in which project teams interact as well as on the project team itself.…”

Motivation drives our behavior that leads to performance and achievement of targets. Especially in collaborative delivery systems, the motivation within a group is sensitive to the project conditions and relationships within the team. However, research on motivation is underrepresented in construction and is mainly based on the simplified classification into intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. This concept is obsolete. In recent decades the selfdetermination theory (SDT) developed by Deci and Ryan has spread within the motivation and organizational theory. SDT defines motivation based on the three psychological needs, (1) autonomy, (2) competence, and (3) relatedness, and divides extrinsic motivation according to the degree of autonomy. Since the theory has not been transferred to the construction industry, this paper applies existing scales to give-based on a particular case-a first indication regarding the following question: What drives project team members in the construction industry? Therefore, one year after 21 interviews with one project team were conducted, a survey was sent to the interviewees (90% response rate), now working on different projects in different project teams. It was found that autonomous motivation drives the selected participants. Furthermore, the data shows that good relationships as well as the feeling of competence regarding their task are important and need to be considered when developing the project settings.

We are happy to present a special issue dedicated to migration, the permanent challenge the EU faces to. Beyond the Horizon ISSG believes that the EU and its Member States should be more foresighted while trying to formalise the migration affairs and structure migratory flow. In this regard, the EU should find ways to tackle the root causes of migration and deal with the complex and multifaceted migration phenomenon on its own merits, rather than just focusing on reducing the number of asylum seekers.The first article is a case study on the challenges faced by the highly educated refugees in Flanders (Belgium) through their labour market integration. A very relevant topic with increasing number of highly educated asylum seekers reaching Europe. This case study not only provides literature review and background information on labour market integration but also presents the results from the analysis of interview and survey data collected at the initial phase of All-in-one 4HER project by Beyond the Horizon ISSG.The second article is an experimental research of the MESH transnational project on integration of immigrants through networking. It introduces the networking models developed by the projects partners and reflects the piloting results of these models in Finland and Belgium regarding challenges and experiences of immigrants for networking in their new host countries. One important finding is that due to COVID-19 pandemic, digital networking model developed by Beyond the Horizon ISSG drew considerable attention of immigrants and organisations due to the limitations of physical contact.The third and the last article provides a more general and global outlook to migration. The author argues that there is a problematic, short-term and interest oriented interaction between policy makers and social scientists on migration policy and this relationship affects the quality of research results which in the end concludes unsuccessful migration policies.The book review of this issue, Hans Rosling's « Factfulness » deserves a special attention in this posttruth age. The author advocates a fact-based understanding of the world against ignorance which is cherished with instincts. Rosling argues that the human being does not act exclusively rational and informed as he identifies 10 different instincts that create a gap between the perception and the reality.Last, but not least, Beyond the Horizon ISSG team wishes you a nice holiday season. May the summer comes with health, success and joy.
