Answer to Question 1

D
Because joint ventures lessen the risk for an international firm and because governments frequently encourage joint ventures in emerging markets, joint ventures are a preferred international entry mode for emerging markets. Joint ventures are encouraged by governments because they provide jobs, technology, and taxable profits for local economies. Furthermore, the joint-venture frequently occurs with a state-owned enterprise which tends to benefit the government and the government's officials.
