Summary: Effective International Joint Venture Management
Review: Effective International Joint Venture Management by Dr. Ronald Charles Wolf, an American attorney resident decades in Lisbon, Portugal, has received joint acclaim from the academic world and from corporate entrepreneurs. It is a practical guide to all the essential steps required in the formation and management of an international joint venture. This explicit and lucid textbook is for all members of the international business community, lawyers, teachers and students. It is written in non-technical language but reviews thoroughly complex commercial, financial and legal topics. It is an indispensable guide for the international executives responsible for cross-border mergers and acquisitions and their advisors. Typical comments are:"There has been a large amount written in the strategic management literature about when to set up an international joint venture (IJV), how to choose a partner, and how to manage the new venture. However, the legal aspects have not commanded great attention. Ronald Wolf remedies this oversight. His book is exhaustively detailed and deals in a very readable fashion with everything you need to know if you are contemplating an IJV. An invaluable addition to the library of the international businessman, and one not likely to gather dust," David Faulkner, Tutorial Fellow, Christ Church College, Oxford University. "A truly useful guide to establishing and managing IJVs...[Wolf's book] has certainly enlarged the boundaries of my thinking on the subject and enriched the breadth of practical legal insights needed for executives and students," Associate Prof. Yadong, College of Business Administration, University of Hawaii. "...[A] comprehensive guide to the complex business and legal issues of forming, governing, and even dissolving international joint ventures...Wolf offers pragmatic solutions in business-manager terms, which can be easily grasped and effectively executed...This book is recommended as an excellent step-by-step conceptual guide for those embarking on their first [international joint venture], as well as a solid reference on specific issues for the more experienced venturer," Patrick Tolbert, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, LSG Sky Chefs, Inc.
