Overview: Management and protection of proprietary intangible assets such as technology and management skills is important for firms considering international expansion via joint ventures. Joint venture partners have incentives to appropriate intangible property. Also many governments have instituted policies to help domestic firms maximise technology spillovers.

This gives the host country partners an advantage over their foreign counterparts when it comes to sharing intangible assets.
