Tiivistelmä
Inter-organisational construction projects face the challenge of aligning objectives, facilitating trust, and integrating the resources and knowledge of various autonomous organisations and project team members with differing backgrounds and objectives in a timely manner so that the planned project outcomes are realised. This chapter talks about tensions that may be produced by the use of collaborative space during socialisation processes in inter-organisational construction projects. It illustrates the emerging socialisation tensions related particularly to the spatial design of the collaborative space, the facilitation of collaborative work in the collaborative space, the emergence of boundaries between full- and part-time members of the collaborative space, and the development of a shared identity in the collaborative space. Understanding better how organisational behaviour and relationship management in particular is implemented in co-locational spaces would provide a valuable knowledge of collaborative dynamics in inter-organisational projects.
