| Abstract: | In previous research on international joint ventures, a commonly accepted conceptualization and operationalization of interpartner fit lacks. As a result, empirical studies have either failed to confirm theoretical predictions or produced inconsistent findings that are difficult to reconcile. This study uses a multiple-case method to develop a model in which interpartner fit is conceptualized as a multidimensional construct consisting of the compatibility between the partners strategic objectives, contribution and joint management of critical resources, consensus on the ventures operating culture and strategy, and structure of relative bargaining power and control over the ventures operation. |
