When expanding into foreign markets, companies may need to form an equity joint venture, whether due to legal requirements on local ownership or for strategic reasons such as market access, cost efficiency, or operational synergies. 

However, partnering with a foreign entity introduces additional challenges, including regulatory complexity, cultural differences, and divergent management styles. Misaligned expectations and communication issues are common pitfalls.
