Author(s)
Dr. Seung Chul KIM
Abstract
Manufacturing firms employ a certain set of practices to manage their manufacturing resources. The practices employed differ from firm to firm and are closely related to the manufacturing strategy of the firm. When forming a joint venture, the foreign joint-venture partner brings its manufacturing practices to the host-country firm, and these practices reflect the strategicorientation of the partnership.
This paper proposes a research paradigm addressing the relationship between manufacturing strategy and practice, and analyzes the manufacturing strategies of the three different groups of international joint ventures(IJV) in Southern China's Guangdong province by investigating their manufacturing practices.

Title
Local Ownership Restrictions, Entry Mode Choice, and FDI Performance : Japanese Overseas Subsidiaries in Asia
Author(s)
Dr. Shige MAKINO and Dr. Paul W. BEAMISH
Abstract
This study examined the moderating effects of a host government's local ownership restrictions on the linkage between the choice of foreign entry mode and its performance, using a sample of 917 Japanese foreign subsidiaries in Asia. The study focused on two foreign entry modes, joint ventures (JVs) and wholly-owned subsidiaries (W.O.S.), and two performance measures, financial performance and termination rate. The results suggest that the extent of local ownership restrictions significantly moderated the impact of foreign entry mode on both financial performance and termination likelihood, whereas it did not directly influence subsidiary performance
