Equity control and the survival of international joint ventures: A contingency approach
Article Abstract:
The moderating effects of asset specificity and uncertainty on the relationship between foreign parent equity control and international joint venture (IJV) survival in an empirical setting of Japanese IJVs is examined. Findings suggest that in the presence of high asset specificity, high levels of foreign equity control can lead to higher IJV survival rates.
