Antecedents and Effects of Parent Control in International Joint Ventures
基于90家美中制造业合资企业数据，检验了母公司管理控制结构的前因与效果模型，发现谈判权力和资源贡献决定控制权，而控制权正向影响战略目标实现，同时合作关系质量对双方目标达成有积极作用。
Using a sample of 90 US–China manufacturing joint ventures, this study empirically tested a grounded‐theory model of the antecedents and the effects of the structure of parent management control in international joint ventures. The results suggest that competitive and cooperative dynamics occur simultaneously between joint venture partners. On one hand, the relative bargaining power between the partners, derived from the negotiation context and from contributing critical resources to the venture, respectively, is a determining factor in management control; and the level of operational control exercised by a partner over the venture has a positive effect on the extent to which this partner's strategic objectives are achieved. On the other hand, the quality of the interpartner working relationship was found to have a strong, positive relationship with the achievement of strategic objectives for both partners.
