Based on a theoretical review of investment models through full and partial ownership, the aim of the paper is to provide an examination of factors that influence to the choice of investment model in six transition countries from region provide recommendations that which investment models would be appropriate between observed countries. Using a multivariate cluster analysis on a sample of six transition countries from region, a grouping of countries was carried out according to next criteria in the period 2000- 2014: a) economic growth, b) competitiveness and c) institutional distance. The results of analysis have shown that Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia should choose the investment model of partial ownership when investing in Croatia and Slovenia. Slovenia and Croatia should choose investment model of full ownership when investing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Macedonia, especially in Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina because they represent a growing market. Also, in mutual exchange, Slovenia and Croatia should choose models of full ownership, as well as Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

“…Ofori (1994) argues that foreign-local joint ventures provide good opportunities for technology transfer in the construction industry. Kaufmann & O'Neill (2007) found that cultural differences could pose a number of difficulties in international joint ventures, although Kogut & Singh (1988) originally argued that joint ventures between culturally distant countries constituted beneficial strategic alliances. Meier (2011) calls for further research into differences in knowledge management practices according to different cultural contexts.…”

“…We used Blau's heterogeneity index (Blau, 1977) to calculate this indicator. With the aim to analyze cultural network diversity we used the measurement based on Hofstede perspective (Hofstede, 1980;Kaufmann & O'Neill, 2007;Kogut, 1988). This approach, which tries to measure the cultural distance between the focal actor and its partners, has been widely adopted in the literature on internationalization as the best proxy, which includes the cultural differences between countries (Lavie, 2008;Tihanyi, Griffith, & Russell, 2005), taking on board the possible criticisms that Hofstede's work may have received.…”

Available online xxx JEL classification: M1 Keywords: Cross-national diversity of corporate governance Dimensions of social capital International market share Social network a b s t r a c tThe present paper attempts take an in-depth look into the configuration of social capital as a multidimensional construct, and unlike other studies, the dimensions are interrelated, and all of this in a global inter-organizational context. This work also analyses the influence of the cross-national diversity of corporate governance on the configuration of social capital. A variance-based structural equation modelling (partial least squares) and the multi-group analysis have been applied to a sample consisting of 225 global contractors. The findings lead us to argue that the different dimensions of social capital configuration do not act independently, but they exert a certain effect among themselves, and also affect the international market share of the company. Furthermore, the way each company configures the dimensions of social capital dimensions will depend on the company's corporate governance style.Palabras clave: Diversidad transnacional de gobierno corporativo Dimensiones del capital social Cuota de mercado internacional Redes sociales r e s u m e n Este trabajo trata de profundizar en la configuración el capital social como un constructo multidimensional, donde a diferencia de estudios previos sus dimensiones están inter-relacionadas, y todo esto en un contexto de relaciones inter-organizativas globales. Además, este trabajo analiza la influencia de la diversidad transnacional del gobierno corporativo en la configuración del capital social. Un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales basado en la varianza y un análisis de multi-grupos ha sido aplicado a una muestra conformada por 225 constructores globales. Los resultados nos permiten afirmar que las diferentes dimensiones de la configuración del capital social se inter-relacionan incidiendo unas sobre otras lo cual afecta a la cuota de mercado internacional de la empresa. Además, la manera en que la empresa configura las dimensiones del capital social va a depender del estilo de gobierno corporativo.
