SM-96-16  aA research study submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration  aResearch Studies Project Report (M.B.A.) - Asian Institute of Technology, 1996  aThe joint venture mechanism is very useful in transferring technology. Among all kinds  of foreign direct investment in the People's Republic of China (PRC), joint venture is the  most frequently adopted form for foreign investors to minimize the risk in entering  China, which has been viewed as a huge potential market by DCs since 1978.  Manufacturing technologies are most likely to be transferred to the PRC because foreign  investors can utilize the country's cheap and abundant labor and rich natural resources.  Chinese are eager to absorb technologies which are new to them. Favorable conditions  have been given to those who are willing to transfer their technology and joint venture  laws have gradually been developed to protect the technology receiver on behalf of the  Chinese.  This study is a preliminary step towards understanding problems in managing joint  ventures in the PRC. A review will be done on the major problems in manufacturing  technology transfer through joint ventures from developed countries to developing  countries in previous literature. Then an implementation model will developed on the  basis of the literature review. A case study of selected successful manufacturing joint  venture has been conducted regarding technology transfer issues by applying the  proposed model. 10aTechnology transferzChina10aJoint ventureszChina1 aRamanathan, K.,eChairperson1 aSharif, N.,eExamination committee1 aLee, C.
