the purpose of this study is to extend the existing knowledge of inter-firm knowledge transfer research and provide a deeper understanding of knowledge transfer practice in an alliance context, as well as the reasons for such a practice. this study reports on relevant results derived from semi-structured interviews with 16 top managers in a chinese international joint venture (ijv) formed by tw...

This paper assesses IJV marketing performance in the Republic of Thailand, as opposed to general business performance. Furthermore, the paper develops an objective measure to assess IJV marketing performance and compares two different types of measures for measuring IJV marketing performance, a subjective measure and an objective measure, and finds both measures to be significantly correlated. ...

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...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CCSVI has been proposed as a cause for MS. According to this theory, strictures of the IJV are among the described causes for CCSVI. Little is known about their influence on the hemodynamics of the CVBO. We used positional MR imaging to describe the influence of positional changes on the CVBO. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the Fonar Upright MR imaging system, we performed...

Received: 10 February 2012 Revised: 12 November 2013 Accepted: 5 December 2013 Online publication date: 23 January 2014 Abstract Partner selection is a critical issue in building international joint ventures (IJVs). We argue that foreign firms are more likely to select local firms with unique network structural advantages within a local alliance network. We frame structural advantages as two ne...

It has been demonstrated that internal jugular vein (IJV) compression aggravates headache intensity in patients of migraine. We hypothesized that patients with migraine may have veins that are less distensible; consequently, these veins are more likely to develop and transmit venous hypertension caused by the increased venous blood volume during IJV compression. We used ultrasonography to measu...

INTRODUCTION Complications occur in over 15% of central venous cannulations, often a result of anatomical variations. This study aimed to determine the anatomical variations of the internal jugular vein (IJV), demonstrate the likely success of cannulation and assess the risk of carotid artery (CA) injury when catheterising the IJV using the external landmarks technique at various degrees of hea...

Cerebral venous drainage is generally believed to be regulated primarily by hydrodynamic forces. To gain further insight into the regulation of this process, we investigated the response of blood flow velocity and cross-sectional area (CSA) of the internal jugular veins (IJVs) to local hemodynamic shifts. All procedures and assessments were performed on patients (n = 30) undergoing embolization...

Cerebral Venous Outflow Hemodynamics We read with interest the article entitled “Positional Venous MR Angiography: An Operator-Independent Tool to Evaluate Cerebral Venous Outflow Hemodynamics,” originally published in the American Journal of Neuroradiology on-line on November 3, 2011. We believe that the authors did not consult relevant references previously reporting some of the key issues in...

BACKGROUND Right internal jugular vein (IJV) is a preferred access route for tunneled (cuffed) dialysis catheters (TDCs), and both right external jugular vein (EJV) and left IJV are alternative routes for patients in case the right IJV isn't available for TDC placement. This retrospective study aimed to determine if a disparity exists between the two alternative routes in hemodialysis patients ...
