Post‐Formation Processes in Eastern and Western European Joint Ventures*
研究东欧与西欧合资企业在形成后如何通过管理过程克服文化差异、信任和所有权问题，并评估这些过程对合资企业成功的影响。
abstract This study examines the post‐formation processes that firms use to create successful international joint ventures (IJVs). Scholars have suggested that IJV performance is dependent on the post‐formation processes firms institute to overcome barriers to success created by differences in national culture, trust, ownership positions and control mechanisms. Based on a longitudinal study of eight eastern/western European IJVs, our study provides insights into these post‐formation processes, how these processes relate to each other, and how they relate to managers’ evaluations of IJV success.
