Joint Venture Company - JVC under German and UK jurisdictions

Master's Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Law - Civil / Private, Trade, Anti Trust Law, Business Law, grade: A, University of Bremen, language: English, abstract: The recent trend of the global business has inspired me to carry out a research on phenomenon known as Joint Ventures. Nowadays global economy is complex, as companies and corporations with gorgeous experience and power overload the market. The Keen rivalry between the corporate entities builds insurmountable obstacles not only for individual persons or for novice companies with less competitive strength, but also for big companies intending either to enter a new market or to make a debut into the new product development. The most efficient tool, in case individual person or company is not capable of solely handling the successful accomplishment of a business objective, is to constitute alliance with another company or person, in other words, to acquire the urgent help.

The work goes beyond the common definitions and reviews the subject in details, including significant examples and cases. It also includes the comparative analysis between the German and the English jurisdiction in range of the regulatory legislation for Joint Ventures. The reasons behind my decision to view mentioned systems as the regulatory legislation are, on the one hand, the diversification between these two jurisdictions and on the other hand the fact that both are the major representatives of their law systems. My aim while making the comparison between the two legislations was to show each possible characterization of the subject.
