Global Mergers and Acquisitions, Volume I: Combining Companies Across Borders

By Abdol S. Soofi and Yuqin Zhang

This book primarily deals with corporate restructuring through mergers and acquisitions (M&As). It critically examines all functions that must be performed in completing an M&A transaction. Domestic and crossborder M&A's are very similar in many respects even though differences between them also exist. The book includes discussions of international finance and multinational financial management-the topics that arise in cross-border M&A transactions.

Given the increasing importance of China as the second largest economy in the world and Chinese companies' growing merger and acquisition (M&A) activities globally, we devote the last two chapters of the book to China's outward foreign direct investment and cross-border M&A activities. Moreover, the second volume includes the case studies regarding Chinese foreign direct investment both in Greenfield and acquisition forms give additional insights into challenging tasks of due diligence and post-merger cultural integration that foreign investors face.

The M&A literature is a fragmented field of inquiry. This book brings together important, practical insights from this vast literature in a short, but cohesive form that has high managerial relevance.
