Joint venture

Japanese: ジョイント・ベンチャー(英語表記)joint venture
Joint venture
In large-scale civil engineering projects, when a single company has difficulty winning the contract due to financial or technical limitations, multiple companies cooperate to undertake the work. It is abbreviated as JV and translates as a joint venture. The French word consortium is also used. Joint ventures are said to have started in 1930 when six companies cooperated to bid on the construction of the Hoover Dam in the United States, because the project was too large for one company to carry out. Since then, similar civil engineering projects have become common in the United States.

Japanese:
大型土木工事などにおいて,1企業では資金力,技術力などの面で受注が困難な場合,複数の企業が協力して工事を請け負う形態のこと。JVと略し,共同企業体と訳す。フランス語のコンソーシアムという言葉も使われる。ジョイント・ベンチャーは,1930年アメリカのフーバー・ダム建設にあたり,1業者が施工するにはあまりにも大規模であるため,6社が協力してこのダムの建設工事に入札したことに始まるといわれている。その後アメリカでは,同様な形での土木工事が一般的になった。
