A study of organizational image resulting from international joint ventures in transitional economies

Article Abstract:

The organizational images of Sino-American international joint ventures (IJVs) and Sino-Japanese IJVs are analyzed in the Chinese context and the four categories (product, service, environment and social images) are identified for predicting the images resulting from the Sino-American and Sino-Japanese IJVs studies. The results show that these image categories are related to the images of the IJVs and product image has the strongest effect while the country-of-partner of the IJVs does not have that much impact on the IJVs' image.
