Abstract

Value management (VM) is considered a multidisciplinary process that seeks to achieve the best value in a construction project to meet clients’ needs and enhance the sustainability of construction projects in the built environment. In addition, it has been referred to as a team-oriented, structured, and analytical process that targets the systematic analysis of function. However, despite numerous studies on VM and its importance, the concept of VM has not been fully embraced in the construction industry. Its application is still confronted with multiple barriers and challenges. This study, therefore, aims to bridge the gap by understanding the impact of corporate culture on VM adoption by examining the relationships between corporate culture and VM integration through an extant literature review. This is one of the first papers to measure corporate culture's importance in the VM context.
