Cons

Conflict potential: Joint ventures can lead to conflicts between partners over goals, management styles, or resource allocation, complicating decision-making.
Complex management: Managing a joint venture requires careful coordination and communication, which can be challenging and time-consuming.
Profit sharing: Profits generated by the joint venture must be shared, potentially reducing the financial returns for each partner.
Cultural differences: Differences in corporate culture and operational practices can cause misunderstandings and inefficiencies.
Limited control: Each partner may have less control over the joint venture compared to their own independent operations.
Exit complications: Dissolving a joint venture can be complex and may lead to disputes over asset division and future liabilities.
Resource dependency: Relying on a joint venture partner for critical resources or capabilities can create dependency and limit strategic flexibility.
