Critical Negotiation Issues Shareholding Dilution Termination/exit pricing IPR Branding Management Governing Law
Other Negotiation Issues Non Solicitation Non Compete Differing return requirements Negotiations of key products and services purchased from parents Consensus decision items
Issues in Negotiation Process Bureaucracy in Global OEMs –Silo structure –Decision making power Discipline in Indian partner teams Strong influence of lawyers in Global OEMs Require open mindset
Why JVs Fail Inability of Indian partner to invest MNC does not need Indian partner any more Indian partner does not need MNC any more Non performance of JVs
Key Success Factors Know, appreciate and accept both partners objectives Good negotiating process covering all future contentious points and scenarios Build and nurture trust
Key Insight Both partners must accept Equal partnership of Un-equal partners
