“…Killing, 1983;Geringer and Hebert, 1989;Groot and Merchant, 2000;Chalos and O'Connor, 2004;Jaussaud and Schaaper, 2006). However, the research as to whether the ownership and/or decision-making can be used as a proxy for control or whether control is a different theoretical construct resulted in contradictory results (Kahrhunen et al, 2008). Starting from Brown et al's claim to separate ownership and control (Brown et al, 2003)-which is also compatible with the research results in the corporate governance literature (e.g.…”

“…In addition, many studies in international business research investigate the problem of control in international JVs (Killing, 1983;Schaan, 1988;Geringer and Hebert, 1989;Glaister, 1995;Mjoen and Tallmann, 1997;O'Connor, 1998, 2004;Calatone and Zhao, 2000;Groot and Merchant, 2000;Brown et al 2003;Choi and Beamish, 2004;Pangarka and Klein, 2004;Kamminga and van der Meer-Kooistra, 2007;Kahrhunen et al, 2008). However, in this research, control is a very heterogeneous concept and is only partly related to the allocation of DR between the JV partners.…”

“…Blodgett, 1991a,b;Gray and Yann, 1992;Mjoen and Tallman, 1997). Since most of these studies do not explicitly differentiate between ownership and control as distinct theoretical constructs, the research results are difficult to compare and cannot be easily generalized (Kahrhunen et al, 2008). Starting from these theoretical and empirical deficits, we focus in this study on the allocation of DR between JV partners.…”

Previous studies in organizational economics and international business research have not tested a property rights view on the allocation of decision rights (DR) in joint ventures (JVs). The paper offers a test of the property rights explanation by using data from Hungarian JVs. Our analysis derives the following hypothesis: The more important the JV partner's intangible knowledge assets for the generation of residual surplus, the more residual DR are assigned to him.

“…In recent years change appears to take place in technology intensive sectors where innovative new entrepreneurial endeavours disrupt industries and markets. A large part of this has been traced to the information and communications technology sector, which provides business opportunities for small innovative enterprises [22] It should be noted that, regardless of engineering or business school based, significant portion of entrepreneurship education is based on the context of formal education [23,24] providing knowledge inputs required for entrepreneurship.…”

Entrepreneurship has been drawing attention of academia, business circles, policy makers and general public at an increasing rate as it is valued as an engine of economic developments. Although some argue that it can be learnt just by doing it, many types of EEd programs are being offered to high school students, university/college students and adults with various backgrounds and future plans. For efficient and effective EEd applications, various factors, such as local socio-economic conditions and degree of technological development in the country, need to be taken into consideration in tailoring EEd curricula and how to implement them. For example, EEd programs designed for developed countries need to be different from those for developing countries. This article focuses on EEd programs at higher education institutions in developing countries, for which entrepreneurship is a vital issue as it is one of the most effective tools for such countries to catch up with developed countries.

“…Foreign firms, despite contributing critical resources, are willing to maintain a balance in management control, in order to enhance the survival of the venture in emerging economies (Karhunen, Lofgren, & Kosonen, 2008;Lee, Chen, & Kao, 1998;Steensma & Lyles, 2000).…”

The results showed that the internationalization strategies, namely market-seeking or labor-seeking had direct impact on firms' location decision. This direct relationship was moderated by firm resource which, in case of Indian software firms, was the appraisal at CMMI level-5. Indian software firms located in developed countries with a market-seeking strategy and in emerging markets with a labor-seeking strategy. However, software firms with resource such as CMMI level-5 appraisal, when in a labor-seeking mode, were more likely to locate in a developed country over emerging market than firms without the appraisal. Software firms with CMMI level-5 appraisal, when in market-seeking mode, were more likely to locate in a developed country over an emerging market than firms without the appraisal.It was concluded that the internationalization strategies and resources of companies predicted their location choices, over and above the variables studied in the theoretical field of location determinants.
