Abstract
A model of trust and commitment in international interfirm alliances in conditions of legal uncertainty/hostility is presented with propositions for testing. Conditions in four Central and East European countries are profiled with respect to varying legal environments and the potential effects of those environments on foreign investment and cooperation.
Highlights
Research on trust, law, and inter-firm cooperation is one of the growing areas in international business
Law, and inter-firm cooperation is one of the growing areas in international business. This results from the many complexities involved in the rapid growth of international business and the expansion of many firms across regional blocks to firms and countries with very different attitudes toward markets, contracts, and business ethics
Rather than focus on issues of general contract law, this paper focuses primarily on the laws governing intellectual property rights (IPRs)
Summary
A model of trust and commitment in international inter-firm alliances in conditions of legal uncertainty/hostility is presented with propositions for testing. Conditions in four Central and East European countries are profiled with respect to varying legal environments and the potential effects of those environments on foreign investment and cooperation
