Abstract
Practical aspects of implementing a construction joint venture (JV) in China are considered. The current market conditions for foreign direct investment (FDI) and the rapid development of Sino-foreign construction JVs since the economic reform are critically examined. Approval procedures for establishing construction JVs along with relevant laws and regulations are presented. China's huge potential and the opportunities for both foreign and Chinese companies are detailed for construction JV's in infrastructure, industrial projects, housing, public sector and commercial buildings.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
