The control design and performance in international joint ventures: a dynamic evolution perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the dynamic relationship between the control design and performance across eight international joint ventures (IJVs) operating in China. We find that the control design of an IJV tends to evolve along a continuum toward independence and better performance from a shared management type, through a dominant parent type, to an independent type. During the evolution process, IJV performance becomes a motivating force to stimulate the evolution of the control design. Implications for research and practice are discussed. 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Hybrid Concepts of the Control and Anti-Control of Flexible Joint Manipulator
This paper presents a Gaussian radial basis function neural network based on sliding mode control for trajectory tracking and vibration control of a flexible joint manipulator. To study the effectiveness of the controllers, designed controller is developed for tip angular position control of a flexible joint manipulator. The adaptation laws of designed controller are obtained based on sliding m...
متن کاملThe control dimensions in international joint ventures: influencing factors
The aim of this paper is to gain insight into the various control practices. This study investigated how partners exercise control over their international joint venture (IJV) relationships. This also provided a practical insight into how IJV partners can mange considerable tension and conflict yet still achieve their strategic objectives. In the first section, we outline some of the basic conc...
متن کاملFrom Exploitation to Exploration: the Evolution of Strategy and Organizational Learning in a Chinese-japanese Joint Venture
This paper looks at the strategy evolution and learning orientations of international joint ventures through an in-depth study of a Chinese-Japanese joint venture. We examine the joint venture’s strategy evolution, culture embedment and technology evolution and link these with its learning orientations. We highlight the tension between exploratory learning and exploitative learning in the joint...

متن کاملPotentials of Evolving Linear Models in Tracking Control Design for Nonlinear Variable Structure Systems
Evolving models have found applications in many real world systems. In this paper, potentials of the Evolving Linear Models (ELMs) in tracking control design for nonlinear variable structure systems are introduced. At first, an ELM is introduced as a dynamic single input, single output (SISO) linear model whose parameters as well as dynamic orders of input and output signals can change through ...
