The objective of this article is to determine the influence of initial conditions on the longevity of international joint ventures (IJVs) in the context of the Mediterranean region. Three key determinants are examined: ownership structure, number of partners, and establishment mode. The empirical study is based on a sample of 124 IJVs established in Southern and Eastern Mediterranean (SEMED) countries. The statistical analysis shows that the establishment mode has a significant effect on IJV longevity, but that the impact of ownership structure and the number of partners is not significant. In contrast with previous studies, the obtained findings emphasize the importance of the geographic context for this field of research. They also suggest that transaction cost theory does not completely explain the longevity of IJVs located in the SEMED region and that other theories are necessary to complement our understanding of investments in emerging economies.
In order to improve the level of human resource management in modern enterprises, a human resource management method in modern enterprises based on organizational behavior theory and hidden Markov algorithm is proposed. First of all, according to characteristics of human resources training, human resources are analyzed from the aspects of psychological capital and incentive theory in the organizational behavior theory to maximize the advantages of human resources, which is of great significance. Secondly, targeted at data partitioning and unknown model quantities in discovery process of the hidden model, the hidden Markov algorithm using Dirichlet process and non-parametric bayesian factors are analyzed for data flow partitioning of human resource management in modern enterprises and model discovery; with psychological capital and incentive theory in organizational behavior theory as the starting point, role of organizational behavior theory in human resources training is explored in this Thesis.
We prove that groups acting geometrically on delta-quasiconvex spaces contain no essential Baumslag-Solitar quotients as subgroups. This implies that they are translation discrete, meaning that the translation numbers of their nontorsion elements are bounded away from zero.
