ECLECTIC PARADIGM
(OLI PARADIGM)
MARKET IMPERFECTION/ INTERNALIZATION
LOCATION SPECIFIC ADVANTAGES
STRATEGIC BEHAVIOR
VERNON’S LIFE CYCLE MODEL
Global JV/ Alliances

A global JV will be successful if the entry mode is eclectic paradigm when product advantage presents:
Product or company specific advantages must exist in order for a successful Global JV. Study shows that a Joint Venture is often seen as a viable business in imperfect market. Studies show a failure rate of 30-61%, and that 60% failed to start or faded away within 5 years (Osborn, 2003). And that is when the allocation of goods and services by a market is not efficient.
Location specific advantages are when the company derives greater benefit through a foreign establishment such as Global JV. The use of joint ventures stems from theories on how strategic behavior influences competitive positioning of the firm. According to Alan Rugman the motivations to joint venture for strategic reasons are numerous. Vernon suggests a Joint Venture should happen after the initial stages of a product life cycle. If a global Joint Venture happens in initial stages the chances of unsuccessful transfer may occur.
Global Car Manufacturing

An example to this theory would be Saab’s car company acquired by General Motors, which many of its loyal customer wrung their collective hands over the perceived loss of Swedish ingenuity. This theory provides a framework to manufacturer industries as to when determining if it is beneficial to pursue.

    Joint Venture are two companies joining forces, but as two business entities, such as a collaboration. "Each company will then take an interest, both operational and financial, in the new company and their share in the profits or losses of the new venture, which will be directly linked to the level of involvement or commitment they put forth from the start" (Scheid, 2010). Joint ventures have a positive or negative effect on the companies involved. It all depends on how the collaboration is perceived. Both companies must make careful consideration and decision making to eliminate any possible negative effect it may have on the company's business.…

CAH has insufficient information about Bar Maisse, CAH doesn¡¦t know whether Bar Maisse would seek to control the operation or not, that is, CAH will have limited control of operation and reputation.

    Joint Venture Failures

    • 2328 Words
    • 10 Pages

    A joint venture is a contractual agreement joining together two or more parties for the purpose of executing a particular business undertaking (InvestorWords, 2008). Some of the most significant benefits gained from joint venturing include, a reduced risk of both companies resulting from capital and resource sharing, the opportunity to increase sales, and enhance technological capabilities through research and development underwritten by one party (INC, 2009). Joint ventures also provide a mode for entering foreign markets because the partnering companies join complementary skills and knowhow with local firms (Qiu, 1984). Companies often jump into joint venture agreements blinded by these benefits and often fail to research the risks involved in joint ventures (Park, 1996). Research has shown that half of all companies that enter into a joint venture fail, and only forty four percent of joint ventures that remain operational report meeting profit expectations (Rod, 2009). To limit these risks a company considering entering into a joint venture should look at case studies of failed joint ventures which have similar circumstances as the joint venture the company is currently considering (Lyles, 1987). There are common patterns to joint venture failures (INC, 2009). The first pattern happens when the joint venture partner’s ownership and strategy of the joint venture, doesn’t represent their risk and contribution to the joint venture (Chalos, 2002). Another pattern in joint venture failure happens when companies enter into joint venture agreements without a good knowledge of the market they are entering into. This causes a lot of unforeseen risks in the joint venture project. Finally, another pattern of joint venture failure happens when companies neglect to higher skilled, experienced employees to oversee the joint venture. Because of the lack of skill and experience very large mistakes are often made in joint ventures (Lyles, 1987).…
