UK International Joint Ventures: An Analysis of Patterns of Activity and Distribution
研究了20世纪80年代英国企业与西欧、美国和日本企业组建合资企业的活动，提供了时间趋势、地理分布、行业特征、合资目的、合作伙伴数量、合同形式和股权份额等关键统计数据。
SUMMARY To date no study has presented data which systematically considers the detailed activity of UK firms in joint venture formation over a significant period of time. This paper attempts to rectify this position by providing key statistics on the formation of joint ventures between UK firms and partner firms in Western Europe, the USA and Japan over the 1980s. The study examines several dimensions of activity: Trends in UK joint ventures over time, geographic distribution, industry characteristics, joint venture purpose, number of partners, contractual form and the equity share of UK partners.
