joint ventures
Shared commercial enterprises
Joint ventures are business arrangements where two or more parties collaborate on a specific project while remaining independent entities.
The partners share resources, risks, and profits: The automakers formed a joint venture to develop electric vehicles.
Unlike mergers, joint ventures preserve each party's separate identity and typically dissolve once the project concludes.
