  1. Research: Joint Ventures that Keep Evolving Perform Better

    Partnerships and joint ventures are an important source of revenue and innovation for many large companies, particularly in areas of emerging technology. New research shows that companies that ...

  2. Research Joint Ventures

    A research joint venture (RJV) is an agreement between two or more partners to perform research and development (R&D), where each partner has an active role in the generation of new knowledge and technology. As such, a RJV is distinct from the ex ante or ex post agreement to acquire knowledge or technology as in R&D contracting or the licensing of technology respectively.

  3. The Structure and Performance of U.S. Research Joint Ventures

    Research Joint Ventures (RJVs) are projects that combine the research resources of different firms. A sample of RJVs supported by the U.S. Advanced Technology Program shows that the projects yield revenues that are far less than costs. Related to this point, the RJVs are subject to commercialization delays, loss of intellectual property, and ...

  4. Research joint ventures and technological proximity

    Abstract. We study research joint ventures (RJV) in a setting where knowledge spillovers increase with the technological proximity between firms. The scenarios we investigate differ in the intensity of collaboration which depends on the (non)coordination of research activities and the extent of exchanged knowledge.

  6. Research joint ventures in the US

    Research joint ventures Five hundred and seventy five new RJV were announced between January 1, 1985 and December 31, 1995. With the exception of 1986 and 1994, the time trend of new RJV formation has been steadily increasing (Fig. 1). The abrupt drop of new RJV announcements in 1986 can be explained as a temporary aberration of the trend.

  7. Do Research Joint Ventures Serve a Collusive Function?

    Every year thousands of firms are engaged in research joint ventures (RJV), where all knowledge gained through research and development (R&D) is shared among members. Most of the empirical literature assumes members are non-cooperative in the product market. But many RJV members are rivals leaving open the possibility that firms may form RJVs ...

  9. Research Joint Ventures

    Research joint ventures, the focus of this paper, belong in the latter category. The proliferation of RJVs has created extensive interest among economists, business analysts, and policy decision-makers and led to the profusion of literature on the topic. This paper critically reviews the literature in industrial economics and strategic ...

  10. Coordination costs and research joint ventures

    The model of a research joint venture with general coordination costs is formalized in Section 3 while Section 4 compares the two R&D regimes. Section 5 extends the analysis to allow for interfirm spillovers. Finally, concluding remarks are provided in Section 6.

  11. Research joint venture with technology transfer

    Kamien et al. (1992) show that an industry-wide research joint venture (RJV), compared to the case without any RJV, does not lead to better technological development or a higher consumer surplus. In contrast, we show that every non-industry-wide RJV leads to strict improvements in both measures and it also results in higher production efficiency.

  12. International joint ventures, shareholder returns, venture complexity

    The latter joint ventures are more complex and require a much greater involvement by employing multiple activities. Joint ventures can be an effective organizational form to help achieve these objectives. Research has examined the role of task and organizational complexity in the context of strategic alliances.

  13. Research Joint Ventures: An Antitrust Analysis

    Our analysis relates specifically to research joint ventures, as distinct from "ordinary" production or marketing ventures.4 Research activities are rather different from conventional production activities, and antitrust analysis should account for these differences. The fact that much of the output from an RJV is.

  14. On the future of international joint venture research

    On the future of international joint venture research. International joint ventures (IJVs) are an important type of international strategic alliance (ISA) and have been studied by scholars for decades, resulting in a plethora of empirical studies, publications, and reviews, yet an inadequate accumulation of knowledge exists, as a closer look ...

  15. PDF Research Joint Ventures: The Role of Financial Constraints

    We study research joint ventures in a setting where rms are nancially constrained and research duplication is a concern. We show that RJVs can increase the probability of innovation while decreasing the total R&D cost. We show that when RJVs increase innovation probability, then in most cases the. incentive constraint of rms to form an RJV is ...

  16. U.S. research joint ventures with international partners

    The NCRA of 1984 created a registration process under which joint research and development ventures, or more simply research joint ventures (RJVs), can voluntarily disclose their research intentions to the U.S. Department of Justice; all disclosures are then made public in the Federal Register. RJVs gain two significant benefits from filing ...

    The authors analyze the effects of R&D cartelization and research joint ventures on firms that engage in either Cournot or Bertrand competition in their product market. Research efforts, which precede production, are directed to reducing unit cost and are subject to various degrees of spillovers. It is shown that creating a competitive research joint venture reduces the equilibrium level of ...

    Abstract. We examine the incentives of firms to form vertical research joint ventures (RJVs) which enable an upstream supplier to internalize the positive externality of its innovation on a downstream market, while giving the downstream members a cost advantage over their non-member rivals. Under the cost-sharing rules considered, the upstream ...
