International Joint Ventures in China

"Questions of corporate governance, concerning the relationship between the ownership and control of firms, take on new dimensions in the case of Sino - foreign joint ventures. The question of control is bound up with attempts by the Chinese government to ensure that its development policy is well served by both foreign capital and know-how invested in joint ventures."--BOOK JACKET.

"This book throws new light on the bearing that ownership has on joint venture control and performance, first through conceptual refinement, and second through original empirical research. It draws on investigations in over 60 joint ventures and interviews with over 200 managers. A concept of ownership is developed which is suited to joint ventures, where account is taken of non-capital as well as capital resourcing by partners."--BOOK JACKET.
