Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between internal control, economic policy uncertainty, and performance of cross-border merger and acquisition (M&A) based on the panel data of Chinese listed firms. The authors expected that internal control has a positive moderating effect on the performance of cross-border M&A and that it mainly occurs during periods when economic policies are relatively stable. In addition, the authors tried to find out the mechanism of internal control affecting cross-border M&A and the corporate performance. Design/methodology - The authors tested the hypotheses by a multivariate regression model based on the panel data of Chinese listed firms from 2009 to 2017. The dependent variable is the change value of business performance (DROA_1,2,3) and the explanatory variables are cross-border M&A (MA), China's uncertainty of economic policy (EPU), and internal control level (IC) respectively. Findings - The authors find that internal control has a positive moderating effect on the relationship between cross-border M&A and corporate performance. Further, the authors find that the moderating effect is more significant in state-owned enterprises and that it mainly occurs during periods when economic policies are relatively stable. Originality/value - This paper is the leading study that tries to analyze empirically the relationship between internal control, economic policy uncertainty, and performance of cross-border M&A. It provides a new avenue through which internal control might reasonably mitigate the risks of cross-border M&A and correspondingly improve the performance of cross-border M&A. It also confirms the moderating effect of internal control on the performance of cross-border M&A under the uncertainty of economic policy.

The main reason for the increase in cross-border mergers and acquisitions in developed and emerging countries is globalization and growing economic interdependence across countries. The state of the economy has a significant impact on whether cross-border mergers and acquisitions are encouraged or discouraged by international strategic capital market changes. This study empirically evaluates the influence of determinants of economic development on the scale effect of Cross Border M&As separately on emerging and developed nations as a research gap. We first separated the small and large scale firms based on companies' worth and used panel regression to analyze the impact of GDP, employment rate, and market capitalization on cross-border merger & acquisition deals over the period of 2008-2018. Results indicate that GDP and market capitalization have a positive effect on CBM&A, whereas employment rate has a negative effect on CBM&A deals in large-scale firms of both emerging and developed countries. This study results offer the implication for the potential investors and policymakers to strategically analyze the implementation of cross-border mergers & acquisitions.

Purpose - This study investigates whether a listing effect exists in cross-border M&As and whether the effect can be attributed to the uncertainty of the GDP growth rate in the target firm's home country. We apply a joint variable analysis using M&A announcement data from the Korea Exchange (KRX), Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE), and the Taiwan Stock Exchange (TWSE) from 2004 to 2013. We also conduct an event study using the measure of the uncertainty of the GDP growth rate (based on IMF statistics) in 55 target countries. Design/methodology - We measure the abnormal return (AR) using the market-adjusted model. We test the significance of the AR and the cumulative abnormal return (CAR) using a one-sample t-test. We examine the characteristics of the CARs depending on whether the target company is listed by applying a difference analysis using CAR as a test variable. In addition, we set CAR (-5, +5) as a dependent variable to identify the cause of the listing effect, and test both the financial characteristic variables of the acquirer and the collective characteristic variables of the merger as independent variables in the multiple regression analysis. Findings - First, we find the listing effect of cross-border M&As in the KRX, SSE, and TWSE, which represent the capital markets in Korea, China, and Taiwan, respectively. This listing effect persists during the global financial crisis and has a negative effect on the wealth of acquiring shareholders, especially when the target countries are emerging markets. Second, greater uncertainty regarding the target countries' economic growth in cross-border M&As has a negative effect on the wealth of acquiring firms' shareholders. Third, our empirical analysis demonstrates that the listing effect is attributable to the fact that firms listed in a target country with greater uncertainty of economic growth are more directly and greatly exposed to uncertain capital markets through stock markets, than are unlisted firms. Originality/value - This study is significant in that it presents a new strategic perspective in the study of cross-border M&As by demonstrating empirically that the listing effect is attributable to the uncertainty regarding the economic development of the target firms' home countries.

본 연구는 1986년부터 2008년까지 해외기업을 인수한 284개 한국의 상장기업들을 대상으로 인수기업의 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준이 국제 인수합병(M&A) 성과에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실증 분석하였다. 본 연구의 분석결과, 인수기업의 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준이 국제 인수합병 성과와 음(-)의 관계가 있음을 보여주었다. 또한 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준과 문화적 거리의 상호작용은 국제 인수합병 성과와 음(-)의 관계가 있으며, 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준과 관련형 인수의 상호작용도 국제 인수합병 성과와 음(-)의 관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 본 연구는 문화적 거리가 클수록 또는 관련형 인수일수록 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준은 국제 인수합병 성과에 더욱 부정적인 영향을 주는 것을 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 국제 인수합병 성과의 결정요인으로서 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준의 역할에 대한 이해를 높이는 것은 물론, 문화적 거리 및 관련형 인수와 국제 인수합병 성과간의 관계에 대한 설명에 있어서도 피인수기업에 대한 통제수준을 고려함으로써 기존 연구들을 보완해 주고 있다.

Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among Chinese state-owned enterprises (SOEs), previous M&A experience, and the probability of deal completion in cross-border mergers and acquisitions (CBMAs). Since Chinese SOEs tend to be recognized by host countries as agents of their home country government, this study argues that SOEs will face difficulties in completing CBMA deals. However, the study expects that these difficulties may vary depending on whether the firm has previous M&A experience because firms can gain the knowledge and capabilities necessary to implement subsequent M&As successfully from past M&A experience. Design/methodology - To investigate our argument, we conduct a logistic regression using a sample of 363 CBMA deals from 304 Chinese publicly listed firms during 2007 to 2017. We used SOEs as an independent variable, experience of domestic and foreign M&As as moderating variables, respectively, and CBMA deal completion as the dependent variable. Findings - The study shows a negative and significant relationship between Chinese SOEs and the completion likelihood of CBMA deals. We find that this negative relationship is strengthened when the firm had prior domestic M&A experience, whereas foreign M&A experience alleviated the negative relationship. Originality/value - The issue of government ownership has remained unclear since government intervention has both advantages and disadvantages in pursuing CBMAs. Our findings support literature that argues Chinese SOEs face legitimacy concerns in the host countries, thereby lowering their CBMA deal completion likelihood. Furthermore, the study enriches the literature by identifying different moderating effects of domestic and foreign M&A experience on the negative relationship between SOEs and CBMA deal completion.

Recently, Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) have become increasingly popular in the last few decades, and overseas' M&A are particularly increasing to sharpen corporate competitiveness on a global scale. Previous studies showed that one of the main reasons attributes to failures of mergers was the lack of attention to merging information systems. In recent years, both academy and industry have more focused on Post-Merger Integration (PMI) and the integration of information systems (IS) between two companies is one of the critical success factors of corporate. This paper focused on Post-Merger IT (Information Technology) Integration Methodology of Cross-Border M&A. We followed a single-site qualitative case study method in order to investigate the type of phenomenon in M&A's natural setting. Moreover, we examined a typical energy and power company case in order-based industry, so that other industry players may have different results to determine post-merger IT integration method and scope.

This paper offers a comprehensive view of international risk sharing and of related policy issues from the perspective of the European Union. The traditional analyses contemplate three risk-sharing channels: the capital markets channel (through cross border portfolio investments), international transfers and the credit markets channel (via savings). Comparative analyses reveal that, on average, about 80% of the shock remains unsmoothed in Europe while only about 18% of the shock is transmitted to consumers within the US. From aggregated figures, there is space for improving, particularly, the cross-border investments channel in Europe. In this sense, the completion of the Banking and Capital Markets Union are expected to boost risk sharing across European member states. We also review new additional issues usually not contemplated by the traditional literature as depreciation, migration and the role of sovereigns and two new additional channels recently considered in the literature: government consumption and the real exchange rate. Finally, we also examine recent analysis related to the geographic distribution of risk sharing.

본 연구는 국제 인수합병 거래에 참여하는 중국기업의 경험적 요인과 거래 참여 파트너 기업의 특성이 해당 인수합병 거래 실패에 미치는 영향을 분석하고 있다. 분석 대상 기간은 2000년부터 2015년 11월말까지며, 해당 기간 동안에 중국기업에 의해 이루어진 1,558건의 국제 인수합병에 참여한 1,610개 기업 표본을 분석 대상으로 했다. 종속변수는 인수합병 거래 실패로 중국기업의 국제 인수합병 공시 후 거래 중단이나 철회여부로 측정했다. 주요 독립변수로는 거래 참여 파트너 기업의 국적 다양성, 파트너 기업과 목표 대상기업이 속한 국가와 산업의 동일성, 파트너 기업이 선진국 기업에 속하는지 여부, 중국기업의 자국 내 인수합병 경험, 특정 목표대상 국가에서의 인수합병 경험 등이다. 프로빗 모형을 통한 분석 결과, 몇 가지 흥미로운 사실들을 파악할 수 있었다. 먼저 거래에 참여한 파트너기업들의 국적 다양성이 높을수록, 파트너 기업이 목표대상 기업과 동일한 산업에 속한 경우 거래실패 가능성이 높았다. 그러나 선진국 기업이 거래 파트너로 참여한 경우와 목표 대상국가의 기업이 거래 파트너로 참여한 경우에는 거래 실패 가능성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 경험요인의 경우에는 국제 인수합병 실행 이전의 선행 중국내 인수합병 경험은 거래 실패 가능성에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않지만 특정국에서의 중국기업 전체의 선행 인수합병 경험과 특정국에서의 특정기업의 선행 인수합병 경험은 거래 실패 가능성에 부의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 기업이 특정 경영전략 추진과정에서 왜 실패하는가를 조직 간 파트너쉽을 통한 학습 관점에서 규명하고 있다는 점에서 학문적 시사점을 갖는다.

This study aims to empirically examine the effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) and corruption on the development of public-service sectors in 10 ASEAN countries. It then investigates whether this relationship is different between two FDI compositions including greenfield FDI and FDI in the form of cross-border merger and acquisitions (M&As). Using a panel database of 10 ASEAN countries during the period 1996-2015 from various sources including the World Development Indicators of the World Bank and UNCTAD, we first find that FDI strongly and positively contributes to the development of the public-service sectors in the recipient nations, except for the electricity sector. However, we show that this relationship is dependent on the type of FDI modes of entry. Specifically, while greenfield investment exerts a beneficial influence on the development of telecommunication and transportation sectors, cross-border M&A has no effect on these sectors, perhaps because of the distinct differences among three public service sectors. Finally, we found that in a highly corrupt environment, aggregate FDI might have no influence on all three public-service sectors, possibly because the two contradictory influences of the interaction terms between corruption and two FDI sub-types seem to cancel each other out.
