Abstract
A construction joint venture is a partnership of contractors who have formed a business alliance for the purpose of undertaking a project. Motivation for such an alliance may be technological complexity, political expediancy, large size, or high risk. An analysis of the risk-sharing characteristics is presented concentrating on principles of diversification for the individual contractors and competitive advantage of the joint venture as a whole. A formulation of risk-sharing rules and basic contractor risk behavioral criteria leads to the development of a methodology for optimal joint-venture share allocation. By means of a three contractor joint-venture example the optimal allocation of shares is demonstrated, as well as a verification of principles of diversification and competitive advantage.
