Abstract

Governance in megaprojects can be used to implement a variety of companies under the consortium agreement, which can affect performance of the consortium. According to literature review and achievement of the research gap, it has become clear that one of the key factors influencing success, is proper governance system. The purpose of this study is to grasp deep-seated influence of governance on mega multi-firm projects in a consortium. Using qualitative and exploratory research method, six upstream consortium of South Pars were investigated and grounded theory was used to analyze data and find relationships between them. At the first step, components of existing governance and influential factors were identified and consequences of existing governance were identified; then, by repeating interviews between the research community and identifying conditions for improvement, components of good governance were presented and effective governance model influencing performance with the implications of good governance criteria and stakeholder interests were designed.
