Description
Changes in the East European economies and the USSR began to take shape in the 1980s and paved the way for perestroika and the historic reforms of recent years. New forms of business between East and West are now possible; the most challenging and potentially rewarding is the joint venture. This new book is the first, written by researchers and managers, to review existing joint ventures and assess how they are created, managed, and consolidated when the negotiations are over. Based on real management experience in East-West joint ventures, it represents the first systematic empirical study focusing on the problems as well as the potential that joint ventures present. Contributors, drawn from a range of Eastern European economies, offer practical operational advice and 11 major case studies are included from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and the USSR. Experience in joint ventures has allowed the authors to develop a series of effective guidelines for a firm planning to take advantage of new business relations with Eastern Europe; and to demonstrate the discipline needed to ensure that both parties will profit.
Successful deals can be ensured with careful planning of the negotiation and subsequent operational factors and this book should be of value to managers in this field.
