Conclusion

From the Paper:

"Companies do not want to face the costs and risks that they are likely to be exposed to alone especially when the company is operating in a foreign land. The business leaders will therefore look for other interested business partners in the region so that they can share the success of the business as well as the risks. This will make the business feel more comfortable in the area as they have other experts who are able to give their expert opinions on certain issues hence they will be able to face the various challenges as a team."
