India as a fast growing economy provides great business opportunities. It is considered as one of the most attractive emerging markets. Due to globalization, international business expands and international market is continually converting into boundary less environment. These conditions also affect SMEs. The SMEs are traditionally considered as home based industry but their survival is no more possible with local business. Joint venture is a type of entry mode to foreign markets. This thesis is an attempt to investigate how to improve joint venture relationship between foreign Swedish SME and local Indian firms by identifying and investigating the effecting factors. Throughout our study, the experience of case company Amokael remains focal point. Indian government is still imposing restrictions on certain industries in which foreign firms have to establish business through joint venture. Joint ventures of Swedish SMEs with Indian partners on Indian soil are considered to be critical due to the cultural and societal differences.
