In an international joint venture, two or more companies from
different countries enter into a partnership to undertake a major
project.

A Strategic alliance is a long term agreement between two or more
companies to gain competitive market advantage. Unlike joint
venture there is no sharing of cost, management risks and profits.
Strategic alliance provides broad access to markets, capital and
technical expertise. It is more flexible than a joint venture.
Ex: Hewlett Packard has strategic alliances with Hitachi and Samsung

FDI is the buying of property and business in foreign
countries.
The most common form of FDI is a foreign subsidiary.
The subsidiary operates like a domestic firm with

host country.

technology and expertise.
