ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on integrated project delivery (IPD) with many of examples and the discussion being based within the context of project alliancing in the construction industry. Ethics as a field of study has been in existence for centuries and some of the most famous philosophers have contributed to ideas and concepts that have developed into theories. Ethical perspectives of project management (PM) have been a more phenomenon. The study of ethics in general provides insights into how it can focus project teams and their leaders on the project outcome in contrast to being hindered by myopic constraints about delivering a project output that merely appears to satisfy the project owner. According to Kohlberg people perceive the merits of appropriate ethical action or behaviour about ethical issues or challenges differently, depending upon their stage of cognitive moral development.
