520			_aArgues that research in the area of alternative contracting methods has tended to analyse the problem at one remove by ignoring the reality of construction project management and the factors that commonly influence behaviour on a construction project. Evidence is presented from a case study of a management contract to demonstrate how the motives or aims that each party to the contract brings to the relationship and the ability they have to influence successfully the decision and actions taken can have a substantial effect upon the cause of events. It concludes that any assessment of the efficiency of various types of delivery system ought to take into account the factors that are likely to influence the operation of those systems in practice.
