CIOB Award for an International Paper

The prize, sponsored by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), is designed to expand the research interests, contribution and impact of the ARCOM community by rewarding research that extends beyond the UK and promotes cross national debate and understanding. The award went to Sarah Kamphuis, Pedram Soltani, Leonie Koops and Marleen Hermans for the research paper: “Learning for Value Creation in a Project-Alliance” This paper exemplifies the contribution which international scholars and scholarship make to ARCOM by offering a novel approach to the study of value and organizational learning. By linking the two concepts, the paper offers a subjective, long term understanding of the value of collaboration and more specifically, of alliance contracting. In doing so, it contributes to our knowledge of the Dutch case, expands current understanding of the concept of value and offers interesting suggestions for the
study of collaboration, knowledge transfer and learning. (The award was presented by Lynne Meckay from the CIOB).
