| Abstract | Joint ventures are increasingly being used as a strategic organizational form in international
as well as domestic businesses. The nature of the formation process of these joint ventures plays
an important role in the subsequent success of the joint venture.
By examining the experience of Atlas Mining, PERT Inc. and Nippon Carter K.K. (AP &
N) Technologies Inc. during the joint venture formation stage, this research case study aims to
identify and analyze the critical joint venture issues addressed by the partners.
Partner selection, degree of top management commitment, fitness of the venture with each
paitner's strategy, appropriateness of technology, choice of equity structure, sources of funds,
organizational design and risk assessment emerged as the critical issues of the joint venture
formation stage. Through qualitative analysis, it was found out that the prutners effectively managed
these issues which resulted in the joint venture's smooth transition to the operational stage giving
it a better chance of success.
Guidelines were developed as a result of the research case study which may be helpful to
finns wishing to pursue a domestic or international joint venture. |
