Managing functional diversity to improve the performance of international joint ventures.

Mohr, Alexander T., Puck, J.F. January 2005 (has links)
No / International Joint Ventures (IJVs) have become one of the most important ways for companies to expand their activities and exploit business opportunities abroad. In China, for example, which has become the world's largest recipient of Foreign Direct Investment, IJVs with local companies are the most important way of doing business. However, many companies have learnt that the performance of their joint ventures in China does not meet their expectations. This study focuses on functional diversity - differences in business practices between foreign and local companies - and its influence on IJV performance. We investigate the influence of this functional diversity on the performance of IJVs and discuss how companies can moderate this influence through adaptation, trust, commitment and communication. Hypotheses are formulated and empirically tested using data gathered through a questionnaire survey of managers of German-Chinese IJVs. The results show that although functional diversity has a negative impact on IJV performance, managers can influence the magnitude of this impact. We use insights from interviews with managers of German-Chinese IJVs in China to supplement our discussion and provide some indication of best practice.

Joint ventures internacionais: relações entre aprendizagem interorganizacional, capacidade relacional e desempenho - um estudo de caso no setor alimentício brasileiro

Mattar, Jorge Luis 10 August 2015 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:26:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Jorge Mattar (2).pdf: 2314757 bytes, checksum: cbf3ba35b4fb7579b28ae1a441a1e126 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2015-08-10 / This research aimed to evaluate the relations amongst inter organizational learning, relational capability and performance of international joint ventures (IJVs), in the Brazilian food industry. In a business context shaped by competitiveness and organizational efficiency, within an increasingly interconnected world, IJVs have become a major force of multinational enterprises global strategies. Despite bringing potential synergistic benefits, the IJVs are inherently unstable organizational forms as the incentives for competition are contradictory with cooperation between the joint ventures partners. IJVs represent a vehicle for inter organizational learning which is influenced by their ability to manage alliances, known as relational capability. The Brazilian food industry was chosen because it provides a rich source of data relevant to this research s goals, mainly because of its rapid technological evolution as well as due to opening the country s boundaries to international trade. This has enhanced the industry s competitiveness primarily due to the entry of large multinational companies. A qualitative methodology with multiple case studies approach was adopted. Data were collected through six interviews with three senior executives of each IJV and handled using the thematic category content analyses technique with a priori categorization. The results corroborates with the existing literature by confirming that in IJVs oriented towards (financial) results, performance is evaluated through a set of objective measures and that IJV longevity or its termination shall not be used as performance indicators. It reinforces that, IJVs represent an important inter companies knowledge transfer channel influenced by its partners competitiveness, knowing that competitiveness is not only defined by the business activity overlap but also by the different dimensions and strategic agendas between the partners. The evidence of relational capability in the JVIs through effective governance models, promotes inter organizational learning and contribute to improve the IJVs performances. With regards to the managerial contribution the research s outputs offers a broader portfolio of knowledge for enterprises and managers interested either in acquiring or strengthening their know-how on this field. The limitations identified in this study are related to the type of alliances (IJV), the sector of the economy (food industry) and the geographical restriction, which all represents opportunities for future research. / Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar as relações entre aprendizagem interorganizacional, a capacidade relacional e o desempenho das joint ventures internacionais (JVIs) no setor de alimentos no Brasil. Em um contexto de negócios moldados pela competitividade e eficiência organizacional, em um mundo cada vez mais interconectado, JVIs se tornaram uma importante força nas estratégias globais das empresas multinacionais. Apesar dos potenciais benefícios sinérgicos esperados, as JVIs são inerentemente formas organizacionais instáveis, uma vez que os incentivos à competição entre os parceiros são contraditórios com a cooperação entre eles. As JVIs são reconhecidamente veículos de aprendizagem inter oganizacional influenciados pelo desenvolvimento da capacidade de gestão da aliança, ou seja, a capacidade relacional. A aprendizagem interorganizacional explora as dinâmicas envolvidas com a aprendizagem colaborativa e competitiva entre os parceiros para gerar vantagem competitiva. Escolheu-se o setor de alimentos no Brasil em função de sua relevância para os objetivos da pesquisa, destacando-se a rápida evolução tecnológica do processo produtivo, a abertura comercial brasileira e o aumento da concorrência, especialmente pela entrada de grandes empresas multinacionais no setor. O estudo adota a metodologia qualitativa a partir da estratégia de estudo de casos múltiplos, envolvendo os gestores que participam da gestão de duas JVIs selecionadas. Os dados foram coletados via seis entrevistas com três executivos seniores de cada JVI e foram tratados se utilizando a técnica de análise categorial temática com categorias definidas a-priori. Os resultados obtidos corroboram com a literatura existente ao confirmar que nas JVIs direcionadas aos resultados o desempenho é avaliado pelo conjunto de métricas objetivas e, longevidade ou término das JVIs não deve ser utilizado como indicadores de desempenho. Ratifica que JVIs representam um importante canal de transferência de conhecimento entre organizações, influenciado pela natureza competitiva entre os parceiros, sendo que a natureza competitiva não é só função da sobreposição nos segmentos de atuação, mas também das diferenças em dimensões e agendas estratégicas entre eles. A existência da capacidade relacional nas JVIs, por sua vez, através de modelos de governança efetivos, favorece a aprendizagem interorganizacional e contribui para um melhor desempenho destas JVIs. Quanto às contribuições para a prática da gestão, este estudo, através das proposições apresentadas, oferece um portfólio de conhecimento para organizações e gestores interessados na formação ou que necessitam aumentar seu entendimento sobre as dinâmicas envolvidas nesta forma organizacional. As limitações identificadas neste estudo, relacionadas ao tipo de aliança estudada, setsetor da economia e restrição geográfica, implicam em oportunidades para futuras pesquisas.

由中外合資走向外商獨資 -以在中國之國際快遞業為例 / From IJVs to WFOE: World Express Enterprises in China

徐崇寶, Hsu,Chung Pao Unknown Date (has links)
有鑒於中國政府相關政策限制或是中國市場獨特的機會和風險,合資企業(Joint Ventures,JV)一直是外商直接投資中國相當重要的一種形式。就實務上而言,在企業的國際化過程中,廠商經常為因應快速的技術創新與市場的全球化,或為降低風險、規避地主國政府限制、學習等因素,而與地主國之企業合作,其中國際合資(International Joint Ventures, IJVs)模式是最直接、最密切的合作形式,也是企業國際化時,最常採用的海外進入模式之一。 近年來,外商對華直接投資中獨資企業比重大幅上升,或併購中外合資企業中方資產、轉化為外商獨資企業或外商控股企業的案例迅速增加,外資對華投資的獨資化逐漸成為趨勢。外商為了獲得高利潤,基於制度變遷、資源依賴程度、企業的控制力、交易成本等方面的考慮,會傾向選擇獨資化的投資方式(李維安,李寶權,2003)。因此衍生出本研究之研究問題:「中外合資企業在中國運作多年後,何以外方能將合資公司轉變為外方100%獨資之公司?」 本研究試圖將IJVs形成目的、形成後階段與外資在中國合資企業中的獨資傾向做連結,嘗試去發掘是否因為一些預期或非預期因素,使得合資公司控制結構不平衡,進而造成於中國的中外合資公司獨資化現象。本研究將站在中方合夥人的角度,分析中外合資企業不穩定性的原因。 透過企業訪談及資料收集研究後,本研究整理出一些因素,這些因素有利於去解釋外商將它們與地主國企業之合資公司轉變為外商全資子公司的可能原因,解釋進入中國之後外商股權形式之轉變,另外也提供了獨資化現象的具體證據。 研究結果所討論的幾項外商獨資化因素因素: (一) 外方合資目的之達成 1. 政策開放 2. 已獲取當地市場知識 (二) 雙方資源貢獻不均 1. 外方提供關鍵技術 2. 外方之全球配銷系統所形成的獨佔力 (三) 外在環境開放對外方有利 1. 外在環境不確定性降低-地主國政策之改變 2. 產業競爭態勢之改變 (四) 夥伴關係不再重要 1. 中外雙方學習程度之不同 2. 外方逐漸降低對中方合資夥伴之依賴 上述任一項因素都會引起合資雙方談判力、雙方衝突及對合資夥伴之依賴程度發生變化,進而影響該合資公司之控制結構。 從本研究之個案就可以發現,因為上述幾項因素,隨著合資時間之增加,導致合資公司的中方雖然佔有跟外方相同的股份,卻會逐漸失去其在合資公司之相對談判力、擁有較低的合資公司管理控制程度。
