As your joint venture has to compete in its
market for people, customers and capital, its human resource, pricing,
service, financial and other policies

needs. To minimize costs, all else should be drawn from your firms or bought
from outside," says Jordan D. Lewis, the author of Trusted Partners.

inherent in an international joint venture, you must manage the processes with
great care. And
never fail to do a diligence research on your prospective foreign partner. |
