| Abstract | Joint ventures have been an important research topic over the last few decades primarily because of their importance as a strategic alternative in global competition. Due to the inherent complexities of international construction joint ventures (IJVs), involving a mixture of different managerial systems, different goals and organizational climates, cultural fit and communication makes either explicit or implicit conflict between partners which would have negative impact on ICJV performance and even lead to JV failure in severe case. In this study, the potential conflict factors in international construction joint venture projects in Myanmar and proposed the effective ways to prevent critical factors through grounded theory. The result points out that contractual, cultural, communication and cooperative factors are the most critical potential conflicts causing between partners. Finding of the study also suggest that the incomplete contract has the most impact on joint venture conflicts emerging. It is observed that the contractual completeness is not just term specificity but also the contingency adaptability. International construction joint venture partners with high tolerance and understand the cultural difference, unique communication channel between partners for open and effective way and committed to ICJVs and willing to help partners expected to long - term relationship between partners to achieve greater ICJV success |
