Organizational context and knowledge acquisition in IJVs: An empirical study

Felicitas Evangelista and Le Nguyen Hau

Journal of World Business, 2009, vol. 44, issue 1, 63-73

Abstract: This article investigates the impact of organizational context on the acquisition of explicit and tacit marketing know-how from foreign partners in an IJV. A structural equation model is developed and tested using survey data from 219 IJVs in Vietnam. The organizational factors investigated include management commitment, teamwork, relationship strength and cultural distance. The results show that these factors have different effects on explicit and tacit learning.
