The relevance of fit in management styles between managers of sino-german international joint ventures : an empirical examination of the fit between partners' management styles in Sino-German IJVs

As German organisations expand their businesses into China, the potential risks
associated with a lack of fit in management styles among International Joint Venture
(IJV) partner-firms have become increasingly obvious to academic researchers,
human resource professionals and partner-firm managers themselves.
The general consensus among researchers and practitioners is that cultural
differences in management styles are a major deterrent to the success of IJVs. Limited
research has been undertaken to specifically examine and identify how partner-firm
managers can overcome this barrier in Sino-German IJVs.
