Abstract

Multinational consortiums and teams are thought to be rather significant organisational structures in a globalised economy. Research in general, has exhibited four driving forces that strongly affect the successful deliverance of projects and that the project management team has to deal with: 1) power; 2) culture; 3) trust; 4) uncertainty and complexity. The aim of this study is to contribute to the area of successful collaboration of construction companies within multinational consortiums by investigating if the above-mentioned issues are also the driving forces for the successful multinational collaboration in construction consortiums and thus validate this theory. This paper deals with that issue, researching an emblematic mega project that demanded the alliance between two large construction companies of different nationalities (one Italian and one Greek). The results show that the driving forces of projects success can also navigate multinational consortiums to success.
