Description: Two basic hypotheses were investigated: 1. Finding these attributes for success for a design-build partnership      may be accomplished by transferring concepts and ideas from business research on partnership formation. 2.      The other direct source is research on design-build itself. Design-build is a common procurement method in      private industry and should be applicable to design-build contracting in transportation. Business literature      provided some information regarding partner selection for joint ventures, although the limited information      available on joint ventures in developed economies such as the United States is acknowledged in the few texts      available on the subject (Harrigan 1986). The literature did suggest partner attributes and resources, or "critical      success factors", that offer the greatest likelihood of success (Geringer (1988)
