The reinforcement of competitiveness and prevention of false construction has become the management goal of construction companies since construction market was opened. In this study, we introduced the concept, 'Partnering' to effectively manage subcontractors, and shed light on again the relationship between contractor and subcontractor, and tried to find its mutual progressive relationship. This study looked at the theories through existing literature to build mutual cooperation system by 'Partnering', and then sampled 'Quality Management System' of general construction companies and looked into their present state in managing subcontractors, and then compared and analyzed the problems in managing subcontractors by questionnaire survey with specialized construction companies. And, in order to establish a reasonable plan in managing subcontractors based on these problems, we progressed the study on how to build mutual cooperation system using 'Partnering'.

Alternative dispute resolution(ADR) techniques, like negotiation, arbitration, meditation, have been used to resolve dispute in Korea construction industry with litigation. Nowadays, in construction, there are growing numbers of disputing cases, because of the different viewpoint of the owner and the constructor, great demand of opening market, and bad construction business situation. As the name implies, ADR plays an important roles after disputes have already arisen. This paper suggests the one of the solutions that prevents disputes befor they have been occurred. There are some proves that the partnering has a substantial effect on reducing disputes and time reduction and improving communication among the parties. This paper proposes the partnering model for the one of preventive methods to solve disputes.

Symbiotic evolutionary algorithms, also called cooperative coevolutionary algorithms, are stochastic search algorithms that imitate the biological coevolution process through symbiotic interactions. In the algorithms, the fitness evaluation of an individual required first selecting symbiotic partners of the individual. Several partner selection strategies are provided. The goal of this study is to analyze how much partnering strategies can influence the performance of the algorithms. With two types of test-bed problems: the NKC model and the binary string covering problem, extensive experiments are carried out to compare the performance of partnering strategies, using the analysis of variance. The experimental results indicate that there does not exist statistically significant difference in their performance.

This cross-level study of 77 samples from Korean 1st-tier suppliers participating in knowledge-sharing networks examined the impact of partnering(joint establishment of goal and joint problem solving system) on supplier relationship outcomes(competativeness improvement and innovative idea suggestion). The findings showed that joint establishment of goal and joint problem solving system were positively related to both supplier's competativeness improvement and its innovative idea suggestion. Whereas, joint problem solving system did account for a significant variance only in innovative idea suggestion. The findings, further, demonstrated that mutual trust moderated the relationship between joint problem solving system and supplier relationship outcomes. Implications for theory and practice are suggested.

Current design-build contract is the type of joint venture, but performs by separate party which causes change orders due to the lack of communication between design and construction, so it cannot lead the main object which is the integration of design and construction. Furthermore, the current design-build contract is impossible to reduce the project costs by VE at the design development phase because the design proceeds with the fixed price through bidding. Like these limitless, the analysis results of the case of VE in the design-build projects, several problems that are prevented from active design VE are elicited by the project participants. Meanwhile, Ministry of Construction & Transportation decided to enlarge the VE review system lately. Therefore, in this study, it presented model of design VE partnering of design-build and partnering agreements form to apply design VE and to try to be able to lead the design VE to be more successful in public design-build projects.

With the advent of the digital economy, the business eco-system has been changing from the competition system across individual companies to that of supply chains. Under the rapidly changing business environment, it becomes true that the competitive power of the steel maker depends on the shipbuilding company, an important customer of the steel maker. Accordingly, e-partnering between a steel maker and shipbuilding companies becomes important. Schemes of developing e-partnering are presented as follows: implementation of the inter-communication system, day/sequence order and supply, improvement of infrastructure such as transport, quay etc.

In the current domestic design-build contract, design and construction are separated due to prohibition of outside work. but instead the design-build contract adopts a method of fulfilling each assignment as a joint venture, which makes it difficult for participants to communicate each other and often require changes of design. also, It is difficult to performance efficiency project that they don't want to share useful information related to design and construction. In this study suggests how to maxmize the effiency of the project by proposing a process model connected with an efficient partnering and constructability in a deign development phase of design-build constract.

Symbiotic evolutionary algorithms are stochastic search algorithms that imitate the biological coevolution process through symbiotic interactions. In the algorithms, the fitness evaluation of an individual requires first selecting symbiotic partners of the individual. The symbiotic partner effects the change of individual's fitness and search direction. In this study we are to analyze how much partnering strategies can influence the performance of the algorithms. For this goal extensive experiments are carried out to compare the performance of partnering strategies. The NKC model and the binary string covering problem are used as the test-bed problems. The experimental results indicate that there does not exist statistically significant difference in their performance.

Product involvement is an important factor in consumer evaluation of co-branding. However, academic discussions over this factor have largely been neglected. This paper bridges this gap and investigates how product involvement moderates the strength of the reciprocal effect on each brand partner. We validate two theory-driven propositions by using a theoretical modeling approach. Proposition 1 explains that the negative reciprocal effect on partnering brands is stronger in the scenario of higher-involved categories than in lower-involved categories. Proposition 2 argues that the positive reciprocal effect on partnering brands can be more significant in the case of lower-involved categories than in higher-involved categories. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to explore the influence of product involvement on reciprocal effects in the scenario of a moderately-incongruent co-branding alliance.
