95. Are there any differences between the theory of multinational enterprises and conventional trade theory?
ANSWER:
There are major differences. The conventional model assumes that commodities are traded
between independent, competitive businesses. However, multinational enterprises are often
vertically integrated businesses with substantial intrafirm sales. Also, multinational
enterprises may use transfer pricing to maximize overall company profits of any single
subsidiary.

96. What are the disadvantages of forming joint ventures?
ANSWER:
A joint venture is a cumbersome organization compared with a single organization. Control is
divided, creating problems of “two masters.” Success or failure depends on how well
companies work together despite having different objectives, corporate cultures and ways of
doing things. The action of corporate chemistry is hard to predict, but it is critical because
joint-venture agreements usually provide both partners an ongoing role in management. When
joint-venture ownership is divided equally, as often occurs, deadlocks in decision making can
take place. Even when negotiated balance is achieved, it can be upset by changing corporate
goals or personnel.
