On this basis, the paper studies three types of conflicts (the objective conflict, the process conflict and the outcome conflict) to show how these conflicts are caused, developed and have a negative influence on the cooperation. Finally, this paper gives the relative partnering management suggestions and points out that the compatible collaborative goals, avoidance of the inside competition, the interdependence and the justice of the outcome distribution are the critical factors for the partnering success. This study has great academic and realistic meanings to guide the cooperative practice and improve the partnering management efficiency for the cooperative partners in the construction industry.
