Strategies for managing Russian international joint venture conflict
Article Abstract:
International joint ventures frequently involve inter-partner conflict due to the differing organizational structures and goals of the parent companies and newly formed company. Conflict can be managed by: ensuring all involved are committed to the joint venture; developing an understanding for the unfamiliar culture; understanding the other's point of view; discussing how to prevent future conflict; allowing local managers to make decisions; considering the gain of all parties; developing conflict resolution policies; facilitating appropriate communication; and aligning the parents' objectives.

Analysing intangible resources and managing knowledge in a supply chain context
Article Abstract:
A two part study looked into the role of intangible resources in partnership ventures between Cellnet plc and two of its suppliers and of Flymo Ltd and two of its supply companies. The second part of the study considered how intangible resources could be analysed. The first study found all the partnerships arrangements were initiated by the needs of their customers. The second part found examining the function of intangible resources within the partnerships allowed the managers to consider how the partnerships may be further developed and if each company is likely to achieve its own goals.

Unlocking your imprisoned assets: the joint venture solution
Article Abstract:
Temporary joint ventures can be a means of restructuring when companies find themselves unable to dispose of, at a sensible price, assets which they no longer require because they wish to concentrate on core activities. The process allows companies to work together on a temporary basis, with the business finally being transferred to the second company. Firms which have been involved in such joint ventures include Philips, Corning, IBM and Dresser.
