Chapter 9 in Internationalization of Emerging Economies and Firms, 2012, pp 191-223 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Worldwide, cross-border investments increased up until 2007. Since then, cross-border acquisitions have led the recovery of foreign direct investment (FDI) (World Investment Report, 2010). Accordingly, cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As1) increase their importance in international business transactions. Due to their international nature, cross-border acquisitions involve unique challenges, because of the various economic, institutional or regulatory, and cultural diversity structures (Hoecklin, 1995; Child et al., 2001; Very and Schweiger, 2001).
