title = {Managerial Motivations for UK-Czech Joint Ventures},
year = {2000},
note = {The paper examines the motives for the choice of the JV instead of
other forms of investment (e.g. greenfield or licensing) in British
investment in the Czech Republic. It is noted that despite popular
belief, the level of uptake of JVs in the Czech Republic is low in
comparison with greenfield investments. The paper identifies
organisational motives (resource seeking, synergies, economic and
historic), partner related motives and exogenous motives. The role of
the partner in the choice of the entry mode is emphasised. Managerial
implications: despite theoretical benefits of JVs to investor, these
might not be accrued in practice due to the quality of the resource
acquired and difficulties in management.},
