Minimizing political influence in performance contracting case studies

Political influence on procurement systems was identified at the CIB W92 conference as a major factor in the delivery of performance construction. This research addresses the issues, impacts, and sources of: information, transparency, subjectivity, corruption, and collusion. It also introduces methodologies to minimize political influence. It proposes a process and requirements to identify the opportunity to implement systems that minimize political influences. The measurement of information (IMT) and levels of information are used to provide the theoretical foundation for the methodology and processes. The research compares the political influences of various owners in 300 tests to support the hypothesis.
