In the methanol industry, forming alliances between methanol companies has quickly become the dominant position for commercializing innovation. The study of the drivers of strategic alliances between methanol companies in Iran is one of the important and significant issues that is addressed in this article. For this purpose, the stages of alliance formation were reviewed and the factors affecting each of these stages were identified and evaluated. In this study, the views of 12 experts from methanol companies and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method were used. The primary and secondary data and information were used and based on the primary data collected through interviews and observations and secondary data obtained from library studies, the first stage questionnaire was developed. The results of the first questionnaire provided the possibility of identifying the factors that according to experts had the greatest impact on the success of methanol companies. In the next stage, based on the criteria obtained from the theoretical foundations of research and studies conducted in this field, the optimal model of the mentioned factors was presented based on their impact on the success of the alliance. The obtained model refers to the effect of market success index, sustainability, financial success and improving the competitive situation on the success or failure of strategic alliances.
