- Abstract
• Despite firms' increasing adoption of the international joint venture (IJV) as a strategic foreign market entry mode, there is widespread concern with their performance. Accordingly, a sizeable stream of research has focused on identifying factors conducive to superior IJV performance. However, considerable fragmentation and inconsistency in empirical findings has limited theory development and the advancement of management practice in this important field. • This article provides a systematic, analytical, and integrated assessment of over ninety empirical studies on drivers of IJV performance. In this context, empirical findings are evaluated across an integrated framework consisting of background, antecedent, core, and external variables. Emphasis is placed on isolating ways of enhancing the field's disciplinary maturity.
