“…A survey was carried out on 89 Nordic MNCs to test the model. In terms of minimizing conflict and improving JV performance, Duanmu and Lawton (2021) found that superior post buyout performance is observed mostly in converted wholly owned subsidiaries with efficiency seeking operations and subsequent chief executive officer succession. In IJVs, multinational organizations can benefit in terms of knowledge sharing, mutual learning and synergy creation through complementary resources sharing and by improved competitive positioning.…”

Purpose This paper aims to deal with a real-life strategic conflict in joint operations (JOs) for facility location decision and planning in an oil and gas field that stretches over two countries and tries to develop a basis for mitigating such conflict. Design/methodology/approach This paper develops a novel approach using integer linear programming (ILP) to determine optimal facility location considering technical, economic and environmental factors. Strategic decision-making in JOs is also influenced by business priorities of individual partner, sociopolitical issues and other covert factors. The cost-related quantitative factors are normalized using inverse normalization function as these are to be minimized, and qualitative factors that are multi-decision-making criteria are maximized, thus transforming both qualitative and quantitative factors as a single objective of maximization in ILP model. Findings The model identifies the most suitable facility location based on a wide range of factors that would provide maximum benefit in the long term, which will help decision-makers and managers. Research limitations/implications The model can be expanded incorporating other quantitative and qualitative factors such as tax incentives by the government, local bodies and government regulations. Practical implications The applicability of the model is not limited to JOs or oil/gas field, but is applicable to a wide range of sectors. Originality/value The model is transparent and based on rational and scientific basis, which would help in building consensus among the dissenting parties and aid in mitigating strategic conflict. Such type of model for mitigating strategic conflict has not been reported/used before.
