| Summary: | Purpose - Past studies reveal that one key factor to IJV success is the acquisition of knowledge
(Hitt, Dacin, Levitas, Arregle & Borza, 2000). Knowledge transfer and transfer of tacit know-how
and skills between partners can create competitive advantages to IJV firms (Giroud, 2000).Despite the importance of IJVs to the Thai economy, IJV firms are not always successful.Parent companies are often dissatisfied with the performance of their IJVs.

The findings reveal that knowledge transfer significantly affected by local partner characteristics and knowledge transfer significantly affected IJV performance. |
