 *The new set of partners may have different objectives for the joint venture, and pursuing separate objectives may threaten the success of the venture. For this reason, it is important when forming a joint venture arrangement that the objectives of the venture be clearly defined and communicated to everyone involved at the outset.
 *Cultural mismatches and different management styles between the two firms engaged in the JV can lead to poor integration and cooperation, again threatening the success of the enterprise. It’s best to pursue JV opportunities with companies that have a corporate culture similar to that of your own company.
-*Imbalance in the levels of expertise, investment, or assets brought into the venture by the different parties may lead to problems between the two parties. One party or the other may begin to feel that it is contributing the lion’s share of resources to the project and resent a 50/50 distribution of profits. This can be avoided by frank discussions and clear communication during the formation of the joint venture, so that each party clearly understands – and readily accepts – its role in the JV.

Starbucks Corporation, a chain store of the USA serving coffee and such other drinks, pre-packaged foods, and evening drinks. It is famous for its coffee throughout the globe. Tata Global Beverages is the world’s second-largest producer of tea throughout the world and one of the largest producers of coffee in the world. Tata Global Beverages leveraged the goodwill  that Starbucks holds for the coffee serving retail chains and captured the market of India by forming a Joint venture with Starbucks. Both firms came together and created a private limited company named as Tata Starbucks limited in 2012. It is 50:50 owned by both the firms, and presently they have around 140-retail outlets throughout the Indian Territory. Here, the basic model is that one has expertise in tea manufacturing and tea production, while the other has a brand image in the market of serving coffee at the market retail level. This combination has seen good success in the market.

 *Combined Expertise: Two companies or parties forming a joint venture might each have unique backgrounds, skillsets, and expertise. When combined through a JV, each company can benefit from the other's expertise and talent within their company. Regardless of the legal structure used for the JV, the most important document will be the JV agreement that sets out all of the partners' rights and obligations.

 *Enter Foreign Markets: Another common use of JVs is to partner up with a local business to enter a foreign market. A company that wants to expand its distribution network to new countries can usefully enter into a JV agreement to supply products to a local business, thus benefiting from an already existing distribution network.

		+	There are four main reasons why companies form joint ventures:
		+	*Leverage Resources: A joint venture can take advantage of the combined resources of both companies to achieve the goal of the venture. One company might have a well-established manufacturing process, while the other company might have superior distribution channels.
		+	*Cost Savings: By using economies of scale, both companies in the JV can leverage their production at a lower per-unit cost than they would separately. This is particularly appropriate with technology advances that are costly to implement. Other cost savings as a result of a JV can include sharing advertising or labor costs.
