  • Abstract:
    This paper argues a case that there is a need to identify the primary criteria which need to be achieved in each joint venture project if the future of such an initiative is to be assured. The paper analyses existing interpretations of Critical Success Factors (CSFs) to assist in establishing a new definition addressing the CSFs for joint venture projects particular in the Malaysian Construction Industry. The main factors considered to be crucial to joint venture success were identified from a wide literature review. The opinion of civil and building contractors, housing developers, specialist sub-contractors was sought in relation to these factors through a pilot study. An analysis of the responses identified twenty-one factors to be accepted as critical to the success of joint venture projects. Following the pilot study, those considered to be critical will be identified and subject to further empirical testing to confirm the potential critical success factors for any joint venture in Malaysia and each CSF is defined.
