Abstract: Based on the team faultlines theory, this paper examines the impact of different types of board faultlines on innovation in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Using the data of Chinese firms’ cross-border M&As, this paper finds that information-based faultlines and social category faultlines have an inverted U-shaped relationship with innovation in cross-border M&As. Cultural distance weakens the role of information-based faultlines on innovation in cross-border M&As. This paper enriches the research on the factors influencing innovation in cross-border M&As and provides a basis for firms to select board members and create suitable board faultlines.
