This paper investigates how symmetrical learning activity is, between the public client and the private contractor in the contracting and operation of complex, long-term infrastructure projects. Drawing on empirical material from two United Kingdom (UK) private finance initiative (PFI) cases, the paper analyses differences in the absorptive capacity and learning capability between parties. It suggests the private contractor appears to be better equipped to acquire, embed and renew their learning. These findings reflect less than 5 years of a 30-year contract, suggesting a skewed (imbalanced) relationship, where the contractor gains more learning capabilities than the client. The paper concludes with implications for management practice and suggestions for future research directions.

Oil and gas project cancellations - a veritable minefield?
OIL AND gas companies are not impervious to economic volatility and must manage risks in uncertain times. Though there has been something of an economic recovery in 2010 and 2011, the industry is still recovering from the greatest global economic shock in more than 75 years. Though there is cautious optimism, economic uncertainty remains as financial shocks and market fluctuations will continue to impact a global economy recovering from what is said to be the worst downturn since the Great Depression.
