2、en Korean firms as a local partner and the US, European, and Japanese firms as a foreign partner, we ascertained the key structural and social components of trustcommitment partnerships and their contributions to IJV effectiveness. In addition, the trustcommitment partnerships were shown to be highe

3、r in joint ventures formed between Korean and Japanese companies than in those formed between Korean and Western (i.e. US, Europe) companies. This result raises the issue of a cultural influence on the IJV partnerships. Contrary to expectations, however, the competitive relationship between partners

4、 was shown not to exert a significant negative influence on both the trustcommitment partnerships and the effectiveness of IJVs. This result provides us with a meaningful implication to the selection of competitors as IJV partners.Article Outline1. Introduction2. Literature review3. The research mod

8、02003. Instead of using instrumental variables, we estimate a multivariate model including variables capturing specialization and similarity of economic policies. We confirm that trade intensity affects synchronization, but the effect is much smaller than previously reported. Other factors, like spe

9、cialization and convergence in monetary and fiscal policies, have a similar impact on business cycle synchronization as trade intensity. The effect of trade on synchronization is not driven by outliers. However, the impact of trade on synchronization is not robust across deciles.Article Outline1. In

As a result, we model a process through which a triadic business relationship is recovered and attraction, trust, and commitment are restored.Article Outline

15、ndustries. The analysis is based on theories of economic comparative advantage, the international division of labour and the internationalization process related to trade activities. Given the increasing domestic demand for fish in China, the limited availability of domestic fish stocks and less suc

16、cess for farmed marine fish in China are considered some of the most important factors in restricting the growth in Chinese seafood production. The necessity of raw fish imports into China may increase pressure on global fish stocks and international fish prices, resulting in tighter supplies worldw

Sustainable fish harvests and trade require stronger fishery management, in particular in the relations between seafood companies and governments along the entire international value chain supplying China. Such structural changes may allow new value-add

21、0; Original Research ArticleInternational Journal of Production EconomicsManaging inventory in reverse logistics has been receiving much attention in recent years. One inventory problem that has been of interest to researchers is the production and remanufacturing model, where used items are co

22、llected and remanufactured to satisfy customer demand. The available models in the literature do not discuss the learning effects in production and remanufacturing processes. This may not be true in industries where labour costs and learning costs are expensive. By modelling these learning effects,

23、management may use established learning models to better utilize capacity, manage inventories, and coordinate production and distribution throughout the chain. This paper extends the production, remanufacture, and waste disposal model by assuming learning to occur in both production and remanufactur

Units fabricated on the main facility are inspected for quality in batches. The quality inspection requires some time and can be performed on-line or off-line. After the inspection has been completed, defective
