Download or read book Cultural Differences and Cross Border Venture Capital Syndication written by Na Dai and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We examine cross-border syndication in investments led by foreign venture capitalists (VCs) focusing on the potential correlation between cultural differences and the formation of VC syndicates. Contrary to the risk-sharing motive, we find that a greater cultural disparity between the countries of investors and their companies is actually associated with smaller VC syndicates. This is driven largely by lesser local investor representation in foreign VC led syndicates. However, certain cultural disparity related syndication strategies, such as the involvement of locally-experienced foreign VCs or syndicate members from culturally similar countries, are associated with greater presence of local VCs who provide valuable monitoring services. We further show that these culture linked syndication approaches are significantly correlated with VC financing and monitoring strategies in cross-border investments and their eventual success.
Download or read book Determinants of Cross Border Venture Capital Investments in Emerging and Developed Economies written by Daniel Hain and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frequent and open interaction between venture capitalists (VCs) and entrepreneurs is necessary for venture capital investments to occur. Increasingly, these investments are made across jurisdictions. The vast majority of these cross-border investments are carried out in a syndicate of two or more VCs, indicating the effects of intra-industry networks needing further analysis. Using China as a model, we provide a novel multidimensional framework to explain cross-border investments in innovative ventures across developed and emerging economies. By analyzing a unique international dataset, we examine worldwide venture capital investment flows from 2000-2012 and consider the effects of geographical, cultural, and institutional proximity as well as institutional and relational trust. We find trust to mitigate the negative effects of geographical and cultural distance; where institutional trust is more relevant for investments in emerging economies, relational trust is more relevant for investments in developed economies.

This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hortense Tarrade analyses over 200,000 venture capital (VC) investments over the past 20 years to understand the investors' motivation to select national or foreign companies into their portfolio. She compares the sensitivity of US-based, non-US and German VC firms to the availability of local deal supply and demand as well as the relative importance of their intrinsic capabilities in their investment scope decision ("Why do VC firms invest on a national, continental or global scope?"). Further, she provides an in-depth analysis of the role of geographic and cultural distance in investments by German VCs ("Why do VC firms invest in a target location rather than another?").

Download or read book Interorganizational Commitment in Syndicated Cross Border Venture Capital Investments written by Markku V. J. Maula and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cross-border venture capital has become increasingly common in recent years. Little is known, however, about the antecedents of venture capitalists' commitment to portfolio firms in international settings. We used a multiple case study to build a grounded model of interorganizational commitment in cross-border syndication networks. The model proposes that changes in a venture's prospects influence investors' commitment levels. This relationship is amplified by the remoteness of the investor and is mitigated by the investor's embeddedness in local syndication networks and the relative investment size. The model contributes to the literature on cross-border venture capital and interorganizational commitment in international settings.

Download or read book The Role of Domestic and Cross Border Venture Capital Investors in the Growth of Portifolio Companies written by David Devigne and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper studies how the presence of cross-border as opposed to domestic venture capital investors is associated with the growth of portfolio companies. For this purpose, we use a longitudinal research design and track sales, total assets and payroll expenses in 761 European technology companies from the year of initial venture capital investment up to seven years thereafter. Findings demonstrate how companies initially backed by domestic venture capital investors exhibit higher growth in the short term compared to companies backed by cross-border investors. In the medium term, companies initially backed by cross-border venture capital investors exhibit higher growth compared to companies backed by domestic investors. Finally, companies that are initially funded by a syndicate comprising both domestic and cross-border venture capital investors exhibit the highest growth. Overall, this study provides a more fine-grained understanding of the role that domestic and cross-border venture capital investors can play as their portfolio companies grow and thereby require different resources or capabilities over time.

Download or read book Cross Border Venture Capital Flows and Local Ties written by Tereza Tykvova and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a unique global dataset from developed countries, this paper provides evidence that not only traditional determinants of international capital flows affect cross-border venture capital flows, but that ties among local venture capital investors are related to size and style of these flows. Our results on size indicate that both number and value of cross-border flows between two countries increase with tie intensities within the local venture capital industries in both countries. Our results on style suggest that strong local ties go hand in hand with more intensive ties to foreign investors. Thus, rather than protecting the local market and fending off competition from foreign investors, local tie intensity seems to stimulate international syndication and expansion of venture capital financing across borders, which allows venture capital investors to build geographically diversified portfolios and to add value by building cross-border syndicates. These effects seem to be stronger for those foreign investors who already have experience in the particular destination country.

Download or read book Redefining Global Strategy written by Pankaj Ghemawat and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2007-09-27 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do so many global strategies fail—despite companies’ powerful brands and other border-crossing advantages? Seduced by market size, the illusion of a borderless, “flat” world, and the allure of similarities, firms launch one-size-fits-all strategies. But cross-border differences are larger than we often assume, explains Pankaj Ghemawat in Redefining Global Strategy. Most economic activity—including direct investment, tourism, and communication—happens locally, not internationally. In this “semiglobalized” world, one-size-fits-all strategies don’t stand a chance. Companies must instead reckon with cross-border differences. Ghemawat shows you how—by providing tools for: · Assessing the cultural, administrative, geographic, and economic differences between countries at the industry level and deciding which ones merit attention. · Tracking the implications of particular border-crossing moves for your company’s ability to create value. · Creating superior performance with strategies optimized for adaptation (adjusting to differences), aggregation (overcoming differences), and arbitrage (exploiting differences), and for compound objectives. In-depth examples reveal how companies such as Cemex, Toyota, Procter & Gamble, Tata Consultancy Services, IBM, and GE Healthcare have adroitly managed cross-border differences—as well as how other well-known companies have failed at this challenge. Crucial for any business competing across borders, this book will transform the way you approach global strategy.
Download or read book Global Air Network and Cross border Venture Capital Mobility written by Siqi Zheng and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using 23-year panel data of cross-border venture capital investment and global air network expansion as a natural experiment, this paper investigates the effect of air travel on cross-border capital mobility. We find international airlines have a significant facilitating effect on venture capital mobility. Based on the difference-indifferences estimate, for our research period one additional flight per day leads to an increase in VC investment between the city pair by 0.14 deals on average per year (1.08 times the mean value). The heterogeneous analys indicates that, with more air connections, emerging industries and firms in earlier developmental stages receive more investment, and non-syndication investment increases more than syndication investment. In addition, we find the effect significantly increases with geographical distance: city pairs that are far away from each other experience a larger increase in VC flow after flight connections exist. Lastly, the evidence suggests that most of this increase in capital flows happens in wealthier cities. Connections between poor cities show little effect on VC flow. The paper presents evidence on the role of the global air network in reducing information transmission cost and raising the expectation for future growth potential. All results are shown to be robust using alternative VC investment measures and the regression discontinuity method.
