Abstract

At least since 1987, when Michael Porter had published his famous article in Harvard Business Review, we know that a large share in cross-border ventures is bound to fail.

We contribute to the literature by adding a cross cultural knowledge management perspective, which could help to understand why resistance by host country staff is emerging in international ventures.
