        abstract = {This study examines the critical success factors that enable entrepreneur-led joint ventures to transition from initial concept to measurable impact. Through analysis of 65 entrepreneur-led joint ventures and in-depth case studies of 12 partnerships, this research identifies key determinants of success across the venture lifecycle—from formation through implementation to outcome achievement. Findings reveal that successful entrepreneur-led joint ventures are distinguished by six critical factors: strategic alignment between partners, complementary resource contributions, balanced governance structures, cultural compatibility, effective knowledge integration, and adaptive capability. Notably, 73% of successful ventures demonstrated strong performance across all six factors, while only 18% of failed ventures exhibited this comprehensive strength. The study contributes a lifecycle-based success framework and provides actionable guidance for entrepreneurs, corporate partners, and venture advisors seeking to maximize joint venture effectiveness and impact.},
