- W1488570079 abstract "This study investigates four key dimensions o f international joint venture (JV) activityin Ghana and Nigeria: strategic motives, host country location factors, finance andperformance. These dimensions are explored in a multi-method empirical study.Drawing on official annual aggregate and project level data, the trends and patterns ofFDI in Ghana and Nigeria are examined across several characteristics, trends overtime, ownership type of FDI, origin of foreign investor, geographical location ofprojects and distribution by sector. The result shows that the more preferred mode ofentry for FDI is through the equity joint venture.Primary data was collected by means of a self-administered questionnaire survey froma cross section sample of 57 JVs in Ghana and Nigeria, with partners from WesternEurope, North America and Asia/Pacific. First, the relative importance of a set ofstrategic motives and host country location factors influencing foreign investors’decisions to form JVs in Ghana and Nigeria are identified. The main strategic motivesof the foreign partners are to overcome government-mandated barriers, risk and costsharing and to facilitate international expansion. The study finds government policytowards foreign investors, political stability and market size as the main locationfactors. Exploratory factor analysis is employed to identify the underlying dimensionsof strategic motives and host country location factors for the JVs. Hypotheses are thentested (using t-test or Anova) by considering strategic motives and host country factorsin terms of the characteristics of the sample. Second, the manner in which JVs arefinanced, the relative importance of barriers to JV investment finance and thedeterminants of the financial structure of JVs in Ghana and Nigeria are examined.Hypotheses are tested using contingency table analysis and t-test on the relative effectsof the barriers and the factors influencing the capital structure of JVs. Finally,measures and determinants of performance are examined. A multiple regressionanalysis is conducted to identify the main predictors of successful performance for JVsin Ghana and Nigeria. The study identifies capital adequacy, partners’ capabilities andcongruity of motives and goals of the partners as important determinants ofperformance. A paired sample t-test was also conducted to compare the performance ofJVs with host government partners and those with private sector partners, the resultsindicate that JVs with private sector partners are perceived to perform better." @default.
