Abstract:

A contract is the result of a negotiation leading to an agreement between two parties. A successful contract usually meets the needs of both parties. Satisfaction of needs is the reason for negotiations. A mutually satisfying contract usually means a better project which is easier to manage, has fewer conflicts, and no litigation. The papers included in this publication present guidelines for negotiating project agreements for people and things, the techniques, art and skills of negotiation, the development of a contract and the advantages of standard contract forms.
