Abstract R&D is one of the most important sources of knowledge and economic growth worldwide, and technology transfer is the principal means to access this knowledge. Nevertheless, market imperfections, externalities, and abusive behaviors have been used by some jurisdictions to justify the enactment of regulations on different contractual categories frequently used to implement this transfer of technology.

This paper investigates the technology management practices and the learning processes for the technological development of local firms in foreign partnerships. It initially notes that the existing literature is focused on the technological benefits to local firms in developing economies from multinational corporations rather than explaining the dynamics of the technology management practices used by local firms who engage in foreign partnerships. This paper also notes a gap in the current literature regarding the technology learning process during partnerships from the perspective of the local partner firms in developing economies. The structural analysis of the data from six case studies of joint venture partner firms in Sri Lanka shows that the technology management practices of local firms need to evolve strategically, based on the partnership characteristics, throughout the life of that partnership. It identifies that the level of skills and capabilities within the local firm, the organizational dominance of the foreign partner firm, clarity of roles in the partnership, and the potential technological contribution from the foreign partner firm are all significant determining factors affecting the choice of dynamic technology management practices by local partner firms.

AbstractJoint ventures are common in Jordan, especially in the construction sector. Local firms and foreign entrepreneurs use them for different legal and competition considerations. However, joint ventures are not regulated as such, hence their disputable legal characterisation. Jordanian courts treat commercial joint ventures as valid companies with juridical personalities regardless of incorporation formalities. Courts apparently take this as a rule of law. Relevant cases reveal inconsistency and are not wholly consonant with the law. While judicial creativity may be classifying joint ventures as companies sui generis, this article seeks to establish that this is incorrect. The nature of a joint venture should rest on the underlying agreement, which may envisage a general partnership, a silent company, or another scheme. Existing legislations are satisfactory as this article explains. Accordingly, the judicial approach should be abandoned to avoid current uncertainties and to attain predictability of consistent legal solutions.

Technology transfer is an important element in ensuring the growth of technological development and competitiveness of the modern enterprise. Joint venture as one of the specific forms of technology transfer gives participating companies the opportunity to attract significant investment, new management technologies, stimulates the production process of competitive products and facilitates technological exchange. Today, the problem of participation in various forms of joint ventures, which is an appropriate method of achieving competitive advantage through cooperation, is becoming relevant for the development of domestic enterprises. Solving problematic issues requires detailing the limitations of joint ventures and researching the areas of common interests of its subjects. The aim of the study is to develop an effective model of intensifying technology transfer in the form of joint ventures based on the interaction of partner entities. The spheres of independent interests of the subjects of joint venture are researched and determined, the factors of guaranteed result are determined. The basis for the analysis was the scientific studies of domestic and foreign scientists on this issue. The theoretical and methodological basis of the study is a set of principles and methods of scientific research: the principle of systematization and theoretical generalization, methods of structural and functional analysis. The results of the study showed that the conflict of interests of the subjects of joint venture arises in situations where there is a tendency to integration and the subjects expect to get a certain guaranteed result. It has been proved that a necessary condition for ensuring mutually beneficial cooperation of individual joint ventures is the existence of a guarantee of useful results, and partnership within the joint venture is based on common interests and goals to be achieved in the results of activities and aimed at consolidating cooperation of individual participants through joint ventures. The implementation of the developed model of enterprise development based on the intensification of technology transfer, which describes the continuous changes in the process of functioning of the form of joint venture over time, can have a useful effect on its successful operation. The practical value of the model is that individual entities, regardless of their own economic policies and the nature of their interests, have a common area of compromise in which they can conduct joint ventures.
