Springer International Publishing (Verlag)
978-3-031-91731-8 (ISBN)
This book is a practical guide for organizations ready to develop and implement relational contracts and want to prepare thoroughly to ensure a successful journey. While many resources support relational contracting, few address the red flags to avoid along the way. This book fills that gap by identifying potential challenges and providing actionable guidance to address them.
Relational contracts are beneficial across industries, particularly in scenarios with untapped value and innovation potential. The book begins by explaining relational contracting and introduces three relational contract models. It then outlines four key phases of relational contract development, highlighting common challenges, their symptoms, root causes, and ways to identify and solve them early.
Each phase is illustrated with diverse case studies that demonstrate the consequences of overlooked issues and how they were resolved. These case studies include red, yellow, and green flags, each serving as critical signals to guide teams and ensure smooth progress. Readers are encouraged to engage actively by solving test cases in each phase, with feedback provided on solution impacts. Additionally, the book offers practical tools to support preparation and management throughout the relational contracting process.
Whether addressing direct or indirect business needs, this book equips readers with the insights and tools necessary to unlock the full potential of relational contracts.
