| Abstract | Using the multiple case study research method to obtain related data from seven IJVs in Vietnam, the research determines how or if control mechanisms and affecting factors relate to the successful operation of Vietnam-based IJVs. These IJVs usually use four control mechanisms. Three of them (action-control, result-control, and personnel-control) co-exist in a closely-knit environment yet still influence each other in a process assisted by the fourth control mechanism, relationship-control. This combined interaction is integral to a successful IJV. The data suggested that as a condition for success an IJV should have at least one control mechanism at a high level of importance with no control mechanism positioned at a low level of importance. |
