In response to the pressures of the rapidly consolidating global economy, companies follow their customers who are going global themselves. In combination with other trends, such as increased deregulation, privatisation, and corporate restructuring, the internationalization process has led to increasing cross-border activities in business. In the second chapter the authors present three types of cross-border deals, mergers, acquisitions and joint ventures. The following chapter covers challenges which these companies have to face when expanding to international businesses. The fourth part shows opportunities of the three cross-border types and examines their cultural and human resource aspects. ...]

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: none, University of Pompeu Fabra (ESCI (School of International Trade) ), language: English, abstract: Based on a review of pertinent literature, the paper discusses the role and the complexities of cross-border mergers and acquisition in firms ́ internationalization. The various stages that firms customarily go through as part of an international merger and acquisition process are outlined and debated from both a theoretical and practical perspective. Particular challenges related to the management of the post- merger integration process and complexities related to differences in national and organizational cultures, organizational design and knowledge-structures between the acquirer and the target company are discussed. It is argued that appropriate management of the merging firms ́ human resources as the merging firms ́ smallest common denominator, is the key to optimize the outcome of cross-border transactions and to achieve budgeted post-merger benefits. Based on the conceptual discussion, the paper concludes with key recommendations for how to manage a cross-border deal to minimize risks and increase the probability of achieving the objectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores several factors that affect cross-border merger and acquisition deals between firms based in the United States and in the member states of the European Union. It provides statistics regarding M & A and offers explanations for their growing volume in recent years and their successes and failures. The factors discussed are outlined in three chapters. Chapter one includes the differences in the regulations, government responses, and corporate governance strategies of the U.S. and EU regulatory agencies regarding M & A activity. Chapter two considers the concept of culture and its role in the M & A integration period and in the Hofstede Cultural Dimensions Model. Finally, in chapter three a regression analysis is used to test several variables and their contribution to the success of an M & A deal. This paper does not consider regulation, government response, corporate governance regimes, or national culture to be driving individual factors that affect M & A. Instead, it argues that they must be considered as a whole when accounting for the success or failure of M & A deals. Ultimately, this paper acknowledges the complexity and subjectivity of these aspects that have the ability to increase the high value of withdrawn M & A deals if they are not carefully examined and implemented.

This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 2.0, New College Durham, course: Strategic Business Management, language: English, abstract: In today’s economy of globalization, technological change, an increase in innovation and shorter product life cycles have led to intensified international competition. The result is an increase in productivity and capital requirements due to high R&D and growing quality costs. Cross-border mergers have become a predominant form of global expansion and a common possibility of adapting to changing market conditions (Buchner, 2002, p. 21). As the described economic development will continue and may become even stronger, the requirement for cross-border mergers exists (Gösche, 1991, p. 153). However, statistics show that the failure rate has been quite high (see p.13, 2.3). The author will investigate critical success factors, that are often neglected and the main cause of failure. By failure the author does not mean a complete failure, but that the merged company has not achieved its expected goals. Based on preliminary research and existing knowledge, the analysis of critical success factors will mainly refer to soft factors. In cross-border mergers cultural issues in the form of organizational and national culture play an important role (Gertsen et al., Cultural Dimensions in International Mergers and Acquisitions, 1998). Furthermore, the author will focus on change management, as mergers bring along major changes that have enormous impact on managers and employees. In this context the effect of knowledge management and communication will also be analysed (Buchner, Der Mensch im Merger, 2002). As these issues will have to be considered at certain stages within the merging process, emphasis will also be laid on due diligence and the integration process (Galpin & Herndon, The Complete Guide to Mergers and Acquisitons, 2000).

Download or read book Transatlantic Mergers and Acquisitions written by Kai Lucks and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2007-06-27 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended to show ways to successful cooperation. Going beyond M&A, it demonstrates how economical ties and personal behaviour can positively influence our international relations. The value to M&A professionals will be generated through better understanding the views from the other side of the Atlantic, through new M&A insights from other industries and from experts working in consulting and finance. Thus, it is also of high value to all those working on partnerships between the USA or Germany and any other country. The book deals with many different aspects, starting from overall strategies, and ending up with lessons learnt from the special cases. Reflecting behavioural, economic or legal aspects, there are articles showing one side only to work out country or industry specifics and others comparing the nationally different systems and surroundings.

Download or read book Determinants of Cross Border M As in Developing Countries written by Maximilian Thomas and published by diplom.de. This book was released on 2020-07-31 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last three decades, the importance of cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) as a favourite top-level managerial strategy of multinational enterprises (MNEs) and national champions has increased significantly. The global value of cross-border M&As has grown from around USD 100 billion in 1990 to USD 815 billion in 2018, peaking in 2007 with over USD 1 trillion just before the outbreak of the global financial crisis. This development is not surprising, since the ongoing globalization and the changing global market landscape lead to more complex challenges for companies. In order to face the increasing intensity of competition that accompanies the global integration of markets, cross-border M&As constitute an appropriate way of maintaining competitiveness and creating added value. The acquisition of pre-existing foreign assets enables MNEs not only to exploit synergies and growth opportunities but also to overcome latecomer disadvantages. In addition, M&As offer a time advantage over organic growth strategies such as greenfield investments, which is particularly important considering the dynamic market conditions and the shortening product life cycles. This thesis examines the research question of which country-specific factors determine the volume of inbound cross-border M&As in developing economies. In general, the choice of a cross-border acquisition as an entry mode into a foreign market is influenced by three types of factors: (1) firm-specific factors such as prior acquisition experience, product diversity and core competences; (2) industry-specific factors such as technological, sales and marketing intensity; and (3) country-specific factors such as market size and institutional quality. While firm- and industry-specific factors also play a role in domestic M&As, country-specific factors are a peculiarity in cross-border M&As. According to the research question, the aim of this thesis is to identify country-specific factors that represent determinants. On the one hand, findings on country-specific determinants might be helpful to explain why some countries (e.g. China) receive more cross-border M&As than others (e.g. India). On the other hand, the results reveal which interests transnational companies pursue and how they change. Drawing on this evidence, policy makers and companies may be able to influence the determining factors in order to stimulate or impede inbound investments in form of M&As.

Download or read book Cultural Differences and Communication Issues in International Mergers and Acquisitions The BenQ Debacle written by Vera Riesenweber and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2015-04-01 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Communications - Intercultural Communication, grade: 1,0, Warsaw School of Economics, course: Global Management Practice, language: English, abstract: The number of global corporations has grown in the last few decades. The advent of technology and fliberalization of political and regulatory barriers enables companies to operate their business internationally. There are less moving barriers between different countries, more common worldwide laws, less barriers in monetary transaction and fewer geographic distances. However, very often companies fail in acquisition, foreign direct investments and cross-border partnerships because their global strategies are not proper enough, or the execution is more complex as expected. This paper deals with BenQ`s failure of acquiring of Siemens mobile devices. During the acquisition, parties face different challenges like market, technology and how to allocate budget, but in this case the biggest challenge was cultural interchange. This report analyzes cultural differences of both countries in which these companies are located based on Hofstede`s cultural dimensions. This particular acquisition is an appropriate example of why some intercultural mergers don’t work because of big differences in national, organizational and professional culture.
