Abstract

This paper aims to identify the specificity and developmental patterns of interfirm relationships between project-based companies. The study follows a case study research design preceded by a systematic literature review on inter-firm relationship development and life-cycle. The study demonstrates the uniqueness of inter-firm relationships among project-based companies, different patterns of relationship development, and characteristic processes and behaviour along the relationship life-cycle. Describing different behaviours and patterns of inter-firm relationship development, the study explains and outlines the basics for predicting the evolution of inter-firm cooperation between project-based organisations. The study contributes to the relationship development literature by reviewing existing relationship life-cycle models through the project lens, and provides a new research perspective focused on project-based companies.
