At first the dissertation focuses on Yugoslavia's unique socioeconomic system and her labor-managed enterprise as a host of direct foreign investment. Subsequently, the analysis turns to the foreign partner--multinational corporations (MNC)--as a vehicle of direct foreign investment (DFI). Finally, the study proceeds to the examination of Yugoslav joint-venture agreements when those two distinct partners pool their resources in a joint business venture. / The dissertation develops a microeconomic model of joint ventures established between profit-maximizing multinational corporations and Yugoslav labor-managed enterprises which maximize income per worker. It analyzes the issues of resource allocation and profit distribution in this unique transideological enterprise. The analysis focuses on the role of transfer pricing, bargaining power and structural inefficiencies due to the unique structure of property rights in socialist Yugoslavia, which partially explains why Yugoslavia attracted relatively few joint-venture agreements. / In addition, the study examines the actual experience of Yugoslav joint ventures, particularly in light of the new joint-venture legislation enacted in November, 1984. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-10, Section: A, page: 3124. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.
