| Tiivistelmä: | This paper discusses the interaction between the number of partners and the direct competition between these when explaining the longevity of stakes in joint ventures (JVs). The authors argue that increases in the number of partners affect positively the longevity of stakes in JVs only when all of these are competitors, especially if the JV includes marketing activities. In contrast, if not all of the partners are competitors, the impact of the number of partners will be the opposite. These hypotheses are empirically tested using a sample of JVs carried out by Spanish firms. |
