Abstract: Existing approaches to multi-firm project success have been suggested as being overly normative and deductive. They can also be criticized for failing to accommodate the heterogeneous perspectives of respective participants in multi-firm projects that might be hypothesized intrinsically to differ by industry sector, size and other firm demographics. This research tests the extent to which the determinants of project success differ by sector, firm size and origin within the construction industry using an inductive, grounded approach to model building. Results confirm that project success factors differ significantly between project participants, and suggest the wider application of inductive methodologies to identify such heterogeneous factors.
