This study compares responses from Western partner firms and local partner firms from a sample of international joint ventures (IJVs) in Turkey, in order to analyse the performance of IJVs on a range of topics including overall performance, the relative importance of performance criteria, and actual

β¦ Synopsis
This paper investigates the dynamic relationship between the control design and performance across eight international joint ventures (IJVs) operating in China. We find that the control design of an IJV tends to evolve along a continuum toward independence and better performance from a shared management type, through a dominant parent type, to an independent type. During the evolution process, IJV performance becomes a motivating force to stimulate the evolution of the control design. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

This study reports findings from an empirical examination of the relationship between ownership control and joint venture performance. It conceptualized ownership control as a continuous variable so that the range of values of optimal equity holdings could be derived. Thus, it was possible to empiri
Organisms are self-producing and self-maintaining, or "autopoietic" systems. Therefore, the course of evolution and adaptation of an organism is strongly determined by its own internal properties, whatever role "external" selection may play. The internal properties may either act as constraints that
