investment within the new open door policy.
As a result, the economy of Lao PDR has changed significantly. The total capital investment

of the joint ventures companies are facing problems and difficulties in operation, which will
influence future foreign investment in the Lao PDR. This study attempts to identify the
success factors of joint venture in the Lao PDR. It will analyze the criteria in both partner

establishment. Through the discussion with related people, the causes leading to breaking up
of joint ventures will be also identified.
