Why is it important?
the change in culture, process and methods, toward new forms of public sector procurement prac tices suggest the need to reconceptualise market exchange as a process of social construction, in which actors in self-organizing systems negotiate rules, norms and institutional frameworks, rather than taking the “rules of the market” as given, evolving the setting from competition to collaboration.
