Mergers and Acquisitions

Jon Woronoff

Chapter 6 in The “No-Nonsense” Guide to Doing Business in Japan, 2001, pp 67-78 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract About a decade ago, when the first edition of this book was written, the alternative of actually buying up or buying into a Japanese company hardly existed. Indeed, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) were regarded as almost a dirty trick, the sort of thing devious foreigners might do with one another, but hardly something that Japanese should engage in amongst themselves. And the idea of a foreign company taking over a Japanese one was considered even more heinous, like a second coming of the “black ships.” Even foreigners thought such a thing was a bit improbable.
