This article presents an in-depth review and critique of previous research on international joint venture (IJV) performance over the past 10 years. In doing so, the authors tease out the most important conceptualizations of IJV performance, the dominant drivers of IJV performance, and the key links among all these variables. They propose a comprehensive model that relates drivers to IJV performance measures and also performance measures to each other over time to guide future research.

Key Words: international joint ventures • IJV performance • performance drivers • equity joint ventures
