Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce that our new book on cross-border M&As has been published by Palgrave Macmillan recently.

 

This book provides the reader with a complete guide to understanding the main concepts, theories, and empirical results of cross-border mergers and acquisitions. Since the 1990s’ M&A wave, M&As have been turning into a global phenomenon with a huge increase in international deals, often exceeding the number of domestic ones.

 

The book (1) provides a unified framework that ties the huge growing number of theoretical and empirical studies on cross-border deals together, (2) overcomes a characteristic of M&A books, that of treating cross-border deals as a specific characteristic of M&As, (3) pays attention to cross-border M&As performed by small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), a point that is often overlooked by empirical studies, (4) describes the relevance of the phenomenon in terms of economic, geographical, and historical impact, (5) explains the main theories on cross-border M&As and tries to answer the following questions, among others: why do so many firms invest abroad through M&As? How does a firm select the country of destination and the target firm? How do firms involved in cross-border M&As perform? Is M&A performance different between SMEs and large firms? What are the main determinants of M&A performance? What are the main limits and biases of empirical research on cross-border M&As?
