Abstract: Our research focuses on two main instruments of control over international joint ventures: the distribution of capital between partners and the expatriation policies of managers. Various studies show that the distribution of capital differs according to the degree of development of the host country. Using systematic random pulling of 323 international examples in the 1999 directory of the subsidiary companies of Japanese firms world-wide, we subject this assumption to empirical checking. On the issue of expatriation policy, our research aims to validate the general model of Perlmutter (1969, 1974) enriched by Edström and Galbraith (1977).
