Abstract
Most studies of the relationship between the ownership and control of IJVs have utilised a limited perspective on both of these factors, or have looked at only one of their dimensions (Yan and Gray 1994a). Parkhe (1993) has argued that the body of theory on IJVs as a whole is underdeveloped and ‘messy’ — the latter to the extent that there are many competing perspectives. On the other hand, these perspectives offer a range of insights that can be brought together sufficiently to distinguish key concepts and arguments from which a research model can be derived. This chapter discusses the other methodological steps that were taken prior to analysing the data.
