Abstract
International joint ventures (IJVs) are gaining importance in East Asia as many countries in the region, such as China, rely on IJV's to acquire advanced technology and capital. The typical form of IJV in developing countries is a cooperation between multinational firm from a developed country and a local firm. THese IJCs often have different characteristics from the JVs in developed countries, and to analyze them requires a different framework to define the various stages the IJVs go through. This paper proposes a typology as a conceptual framework for analysis and appraisal of the IJV in developing countries. The typology uses two dimensions, JV partner status and JV content, to identify 4 types of IJV and 4 patterns of IJV development. Three cases of Hong Kong-China joint ventures are used to illustrate the proposed typology of IJV.
