Construction Dispute Research Expanded

This book contributes to efficient construction dispute negotiations by identifying the impediments against settlement. Part A discusses the conceptualization and minimization of biases in construction dispute decisions; Part B examines other psychological such as inequity, power asymmetry and loss aversion. In response to the paradigm shift from dispute resolution to avoidance, Part C focuses on ways, both contractual and non-contractual, to avoid disputes. This book showcases new ideas in construction dispute research. It offers research studies that are theory rich and conducted with robust methodologies. The research implications are practical and implementable.
