Abstract: | Co-operation may enable organizations to attain ends that they cannot achieve alone. However, the co-operating partners must have an unusual mix of propensity, power and persistence. Joint ventures are used to elucidate these critical elements in the relationship. A joint venture involves a whole array of factors which influence close, continuing co-operation between organizations. In addition to being complex, the phenomenon is dynamic; joint ventures are formed to secure resources which the parents cannot develop alone. An analysis of joint ventures raises provocative issues about co-operation to attain innovative benefits. |
