Learning through the international joint venture: lessons from the experience of China's automotive sector
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: This study explores why international joint ventures (IJVs) based on the global South may meet with only partial success in nurturing local technological capability. The experience of China’s passenger-vehicle sector demonstrates that in the existence of a substantial technological capability gap between alliance partners, the IJV arrangement is likely to create a “passive” learning mode, and learners using this IJV arrangement may be able to strengthen their production capability but leaving their project execution and innovation capabilities largely undeveloped.
