| Abstract: | In this paper, an in-depth critique of previous research on international joint venture instability by pointing out its major limitations is conducted. There are the limitations: lack of clear conceptualizations and consistent operationalizations, lack of clarity in the relationship with performance, static focus on the eventual destination rather than developmental processes, and lack of managerial relevance. To overcome these deficiencies, there is proposed a significant reconceptualization in which instability is defined as a neutral, dynamic, process-based, and multifaceted phenomenon. Directions for future research are provided. |
