Joint ventures

What makes international joint ventures successful? Among other key success factors such as strategic fit, material and political-relational incentives, and the cultural compatibility of the joint venture partners, the role of one factor in the successful establishment and management of joint ventures is critical: the mutual trust among the managers involved. This book explores how to establish, develop, and continue to nurture mutual trust between the managers of German and Chinese joint ventures. A series of guided interviews conducted by the authors reveals assessments of Chinese and European executives about their mutual trust in the context of the cultural differences between the two countries, the worldviews characterizing China and Germany, and their impact on the behavior of their executives. The authors then use these judgements from the interviews to make recommendations for action to build more successful cooperation in German-Chinese business cooperation in future joint enterprises. Trust in German-Chinese Business Cooperation is essential reading for managers of international companies and students of business management, business psychology and intercultural management.

Italy¿s officially joining the China-led Belt and Road Initiative sparked a fierce debate. By analysing five fields of cooperation, the volume sheds light on whether the bilateral agreement has brought about an intensification of bilateral collaboration as wished by the Italian government at the time and whether the concerns around it have materialised. The contributions will show that potential risks coexist alongside unsubstantiated ones.

Exploring the potential that lies in university-business collaborations, the present anthology attends to the dilemmas, dualities, and challenges that follow such collaborations, especially in the academic traditions of the social sciences and humanities.

Academic Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Civil / Private / Trade / Anti Trust Law / Business Law, grade: 75% (B+ equivalent), University of Melbourne (Melbourne Law School), course: Resources Joint Ventures, language: English, abstract: This research paper attempts to unpack and analyse various viewpoints and judicial pronouncements on the issue of a separate legal status for Joint Venture vis-à-vis Partnership in some jurisdictions such as Australia, Canada, England, New Zealand and the United States. The paper will aim to simplify, as much as possible, the meaning and types of Joint Venture and argue in favour of a regulatory statute for Joint Ventures, with special reference to Resources Joint Ventures as obtainable in Australia and New Zealand. In doing so, the paper will set out the contexts and legal parameters that embody the concept of Joint Venture. Joint Venture statutes are gradually becoming necessary bearing in mind the ever-increasing rate of cross-border transactions, as well as international activities towards the harmonisation and codification of legal principles and their applications into a single legal framework, which started before the turn of the twenty-first century and have intensified since then.
