| Abstract: | This study examines the rationale (hereafter as: rat-le.) for the formation of international equity joint ventures (IJVs) from the perspectives of the transactions cost (here as: tr-cs.) and resource based (res-bs.) theories. The study adopts a multi-method personal interview and self-administered questionnaire approach to examine the rat-le. for the decision to form an IJV in the parent firms. The study also examines the extent and methods of analysis when deciding to form a JV. The findings show that aspects of both the tr-cs. and res-bs. views influence the decision to form a JV. In this respect the tr-cs. and res-bs. perspectives on JV formation should be regarded as complementary views rather than substitute views. |
