Summary:International Joint Ventures (IJVs) have become an important means of market entry for many firms, particularly those seeking entry into Asia ( Lin and Germain, 1999 ). As such, it is important to understand what causes some IJVs to fail and others to succeed. This study examines the relationship between partners' needs, commitment, control, and conflict between the IJV partners in a developing country of South East Asia.
