| Abstract: | As markets have become more globalized and competitive, it has become increasingly difficult for any single company to excel, and thus be competitive, in all aspects of a given business. That is why many firms have chosen to enter into shared, cooperative agreements with "partner" firms. Prior research has found that many international joint ventures fail. Some authors have suggested that control problems are one of the primary causes of IJV failures. This paper reports the results of a largely exploratory study of the control practices employed by partners involved in three arguably successful IJVs. |
