At present, construction management level is far behind that of manufacturing industry. The main reasons include low efficient information communication caused by'pyramid'organization structure, raising number of construction alteration and counterclaim, high transaction cost caused by opposite attitude in project and so on. A set of new theories and methods should be explored to solve the problems we met.Profited from the related domestic and foreign research results, this thesis proposes to use partnering theory to solve a series of problems which present project administration centers face. Also, the partnering project management mechanism is analyzed combined with the situation of our country and detailed application methods are given in the thesis.First of all, the core characteristics and critical success factors of partnering management idea are analyzed which are the highest leadership support, effective communication, trust, normally team conference and to improve continually. Project management mechanisms under the partnering environment are proposed which include the benefit assignment mechanism, the communication mechanism, the trust mechanism and the cooperation mechanism. Thereinto, the benefit assignment mechanism and communication mechanism are the foundation of trust and cooperation mechanism for they relate with the entire project team's cohesive force. The key point of solving the partnering management mechanism is establishing an appropriate benefit assignment and communication mechanism.The main content of cooperative theory is how to distribute collabaive profit in the union. In construction reality, profit allocation among every participant is the process of gambling. Concretely, it can be divided into two kinds which are vertical type and horizontal type, namely between the owner and the contractor and among contractor communities. Bayesian probability and replicator equation are applied to simulate the trend of cooperation in construction. Besides, ?the bargin theory'and ?the Shapley value'method are used in different gambling process's benefit apportion model. What's more, the partnering benefit assignment mechanism application principle and the flow are proposed in this thesis.Information asymmetry is the main inducement of noncooperation. Implementation of information technology has provided the technical support to partnering project management communication mechanism for it eliminates the information distortion and it avoids to be lagged. In this thesis, communication mechanism is divided into three layers which are system schema based on web, highly integrated information and cooperation negotiation based on them. In practice construction, every participant uses different information code system so that it is difficult to transfer the data among them correctly. An n-demension integrated code model is built to facilitate information communication among different specialists. Also, an n-demension data structure is given to help managers analyzing data from multiple views to mine the information value. At the same time, a negotiation model is provided in the end of the thesis to help engineers communicate more effectively and eliminate conflict in communication process so that it guarantees the cooperation going on wheels smoothly.Effecive measure of partnering management contains two aspects. One of it is applying benefit apportion model unified with partnering protocol to guarantee the benefit assignment mechanism realization. The other one is providing information exchange environment among the partnering workshop through constructing an information system which penertrates the entire project phases and involves the main participants without time and space limitation. It realizes sharing information among all different participants and eliminates―information isolated island‖and―low effective information communication‖.Partnering theory and operational mechanism in the project practice research becomes the hot spot of scholars'studies. The preliminary discussion to it has been carried on in this thesis. It needs to be developed and consummated in future work supported by other specialists and experts.
