Dimensions of control in UK international joint ventures
Article Abstract:
Companies in developed markets have become more willing to enter cross-border partnerships and the trend is set to continue. The two main contractual types of joint ventures (JVs) are non-equity and equity. Non-equity JVs are usually in the form of long-term agreements between partners, while equity JVs take the form of new companies in which partners hold an equity stake. An investigation of the type of management control practised by British parent companies over their JVs seeks to clarify the amount of management control by UK parents compared with their foreign counterparts.

Crafting successful strategic technology partnerships
Article Abstract:
More flexible forms of strategic technology alliances called non-equity agreements increased in frequency from less than 10% of all other types of alliances in 1970 to roughly 85% of all alliances in 1996. Yet the percentage of strategic alliances that fail continues to hover between roughly 50%-60%, the reasons for which have remained rather ambiguous. Thus, a study developed a new management approach to partnerships, which are a highly sensitive strategic process.
