Focus Area 3C – Describing and operationalising the value ecosystem for MCMs

This focus area aims to identify the factors affecting specifier decision-making behaviour in the infrastructure sector and influence these through a value-driven market platform.

 

3c

Description

Market platforms to stimulate industrial symbiosis have had limited success as they fail to stimulate desired decision-making behaviours by material specifiers. 

This project, led by Dr Linh Truong at Loughborough University, examined the factors affecting specifier decision-making behaviour in the infrastructure sector, and how these can be addressed in a value-driven market platform.
