The choice of control mechanism is one of the most concerned issues in the formation and management of international joint ventures. It is also one of the latest topics in the IJV researches. However, due to the different theoretical basis and perspectives in different studies, there are contradictory research results. Moreover, the researches on the parent company´s choice of control mechanisms have scattered in different studies and are lack of a systematic analysis. In this paper, the parent company´s choice of IJV control mechanisms is analyzed from three new perspectives including control power, control needs and control capability, based on the Resource Dependence Theory, Resource Based View, Transaction Cost Theory and Strategic Theory.
