Acquisition as an Entry and Growth Strategy

Chapter 4 in Acquisition Strategies in European Emerging Markets, 2007, pp 43-57 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Multinational corporations (MNC) use acquisitions to pursue strategic objectives. In emerging economies, these objectives often relate to the establishment of a position in a new market or the strengthening of a position in a consolidating market. Organizational forms are selected and customized to match objectives with the prerogatives of the local environment. Consequently, entry modes – acquisitions, in particular – exhibit a great diversity that would be masked in aggregate data from official statistics (Chapter 2) or even in survey data (Chapter 3). Our case studies illustrate the diverse forms of acquisition by which firms pursue their strategies in the idiosyncratic context of each emerging economy.
