Beginning in 1993, 12 institutions and individuals and The PawPaw Foundation (PPF) embarked on a joint venture to evaluate commercially-available, named pawpaw (Asimina triloba) varieties and PPF's advanced selections within and outside of the pawpaw's native range. Each Pawpaw Regional Variety Trial (PRVT) planting, consists of about 300 trees, with five to eight replications (blocks) of 28 grafted scion varieties per block in a randomized complete block design (10 named varieties and 18 clones selected in the PPF orchards at the University of Maryland Experiment Stations at Queenstown and Keedysville, Md.). Variables being examined in the trial include climatic effect, culture, pests, growth, fl owering, yield, and fruit characteristics. In 1995, PRVT plantings were established in Kentucky (Princeton, Ky.), Louisiana, North Carolina, Oregon, and South Carolina. In 1998, a second planting was established in Kentucky (Frankfort, Ky.). In 1999, PRVT plantings were established...

We present an experiment where two players bargain with a third player. They can bargain either separately or form a joint venture to bargain collectively. Our theoretical benchmark solution predicts decentralized bargaining, as only one player has an interest in forming a joint venture. However, we observe a significant amount of collective bargaining. Collective bargaining, when compared with decentralized bargaining,

Many research studies have been done to explain the reasons for the tensions and failures observed in joint ventures between Japanese and Western multinational enterprises. These studies have identified, with various degrees of sophistication, the existence of cultural differences as a primary determinant of failure. Alternative explanations focus upon a transaction cost approach, emphasising opportunism and the danger of cheating in such strategic alliances. This paper synthesises the literature through the development of a new conceptual framework. This framework, which distinguishes between economic and cultural reasons for failure, provides a new lens to view the literature. It is demonstrated that the simple view of cultural incompatibility needs to be replaced by an awareness of the combined impact of cultural and economic forces on the viability of joint ventures between Japanese and Western firms.

In the last times a growing emphasis exists in the commercialization of the university investigation, in particular, through the creation of companies (spin-offs). However, the phenomena that the concept of university spinoff is about embracing are not homogeneous. For this reason, it seems convenient to identify the different realities that it includes organizing them by means of typologies. The present

This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of law firms entering into joint ventures, an increasingly eyed business model particularly by American and British lawyers seeking to expand into promising financial markets. One country at the center of the joint venture experiment has been Singapore. With the strong encouragement of the Singaporean government (which has long embraced foreign investment), various elite

The purpose of this paper was to highlight the major entry modes of entering a foreign market. The rise in globalisation, internet technology, competition has necessitated the need for organisations to look for opportunities in other countries. Most firms in Zimbabwe rely on the local market for sales. This paper looks at different methods that Zimbabwean companies can use to penetrate foreign markets. This is a conceptual paper and the methodology used is a desktop research in which in depth literature review is done to put emphasis on different levels of international marketing that companies can implement. The analysis is based on previous conducted research from books and relevant journals and articles. The findings of the paper confirm that firms need to practice international marketing in order to increase presence in different markets and as well their capital base. The study concludes that firms need to enhance the levels of production and practice international marketing in...

The booming demand for motor vehicles in China has made China the most rapidly growing automotive market in the world. The entry of China into the World Trade Organisation (WTO) is expected to accelerate the trend. Although often well established in China before WTO entry, the world's large vehicle manufacturers have responded to Chinese WTO membership by establishing additional joint ventures and new assembly plants and by the launch of new models. This study analyses the Chinese automotive market prior to WTO entry and forecasts future market trends as impacted by China's recent entry into the WTO.

Vietnam’s large potential market and oil resources have attracted many multinational companies, and joint ventures have been the common form of entry. Joint ventures allowed multinationals to gain quick entry, and domestic companies to gain access to capital and technical expertise. However, joint ventures in Vietnam can suffer numerous conflicts, due to differences in working environment, cultures, economic system, level

In a joint venture between Agricultural Research Organization, Volcani Center and StePac L.A Ltd. (Tefen, Israel), a series of plastic films have been developed (commercial name Xtend®) with higher permeability to water vapor than most commercially available MAP products. Using hydrophilic Xtend® films manufactured from various proprietary blends of polyamides with other polymeric and non- polymeric compounds allowed achieving in-pack

In conventional accounting literature, ‘transfer pricing’ is portrayed as a technique for optimal allocation of costs and revenues among divisions, subsidiaries and joint ventures within a group of related entities. Such representations of transfer pricing simultaneously acknowledge and occlude how it is deeply implicated in processes of wealth retentiveness that enable companies to avoid taxes and facilitate the flight of

NNPC in joint venture partnerships with international oil corporations (IOCs) from the United States of America, Britain, France and the Netherlands flared 514,779,616 standard cubic feet (scf) of associated gas out of 619,032,858 scf of... more

NNPC in joint venture partnerships with international oil corporations (IOCs) from the United States of America, Britain, France and the Netherlands flared 514,779,616 standard cubic feet (scf) of associated gas out of 619,032,858 scf of total associated gas flared in 2011. This is because NNPC lays emphasis on maximisation of oil revenues over adequate financing of gas utilisation facilities. Available records indicate that NNPC and its partners in the oil joint ventures prioritised profits and revenues through increase in oil production without limiting oil production to the gas utilisation capacity required to meet policy deadline. Regrettably, flaring of associated gas has global and local environmental, economic and health implications. Thus, by adopting the rentier state theory, and qualitative method that relied on secondary sources of data, the study concludes that inadequate funding of NNPC's participation in oil joint venture partnerships constrained the financing of associated gas (AG) utilisation facilities resulting in the failure of enforcement of the zero-gas flaring policy in Nigeria.
