| Abstract | There is considerable interest in the merits of Joint Venture operations in China in manufacturing. It is
imp01iant for both the Chinese economy and a large number of foreign investors. A review of the
literature from both Western and Chinese researchers showed that although the purpose and
advantages of IJV manufacturing in China are known, a vital aspect of operations management has
largely been ignored. Therefore, IJV manufacturers in China were conducted exploratory interviews
with managers at six companies to investigate the operations management issues faced. Four main
problems were identified:
• the difficulty with recruiting and training suitable employees;
• all aspects of supplier management;
• problems with achieving high-quality output; and
• achieving an effective IJV business culture.
The results have implications not only for researchers, in that they indicate where more research is
necessary, but also for practitioners, since they identify the areas where IJV manufacturers are most
likely to encounter problems in China. |
