Abstract: Why do some international joint ventures (IJV) succeed while others fail? Scholars suggest that cultural differences and trust influence IJV success. Others maintain that ownership and control structures explain performance differences. Still others imply that learning and governmental actions create these differences. We use a longitudinal methodology to examine the impact of all these factors on IJV performance for a sample of Eastern/Western European IJVs. We found that culture, trust, learning, ownership, control and governments all contribute to the success or failure of IJVs.
