浅析外资并购热潮原因及其对我国的影响

外资并购已经成为外商在华投资的趋势,中国已经成为跨国直接投资的主要目的地。外资在中国的并购热潮的原因较多,比如,中国政府放宽限制、国内企业发展成熟、外资看好中国前景、全球流动性过剩、全球商业竞争加剧等等。外资并购对我国经济有积极影响也有消极影响。本文提出了我国应对外资并购的建议。     

外资并购对我国的影响及法律对策

随着经济全球化的发展,外资并购作为国际直接投资的主要方式,在推动了我国经济发展的同时,也带来了垄断问题。目前,从外资并购现状看,一些大型跨国公司凭借其雄厚的资金实力和技术,已在我国某些行业和经济领域形成控股态势,且独资企业发展迅速。我国应借鉴发达国家并购的法律规制,完善本国企业进行跨国并购的国内外环境,有效规范、控制外资并购行为,维护我国经济安全。     

垄断性外资并购监控程序和法律责任机制构建

外资并购具有正负效应,其最大的负面影响就是垄断.由于我国缺乏反垄断法律规则的制约,那些具有规模经济优势、市场竞争力强劲的外国企业并购国内企业容易使相关企业形成市场支配地位,限制市场内有效竞争,使得我国产业结构趋于垄断或寡占.因此,为了监管外资并购中的垄断行为,防止外资并购导致过度集中、排除或限制竞争,损害消费者利益,法律在对垄断性外资并购的实体标准作出规定的同时,还必须对垄断性外资并购的程序要件和法律责任进行立法构建.     

浅议外资在华并购的产业安全规制

如何构筑民族零售业的竞争优势

现如今,中国零售业已经向外资全面开放在激烈的竞争对手面前,我国弱小的零售企业首先应该通过学习和借鉴跨国零售巨头的经验,其次应该充分利用自己的特色来构筑竞争优势。     

外资并购中的反垄断问题研究

尽管主流观点认为,中国目前还没有一个行业真正被外资垄断,但在跨国并购成为全球外商直接投资主要方式的背景下,研究外资在华并购的演变趋势及其可能产生的经营者集中问题,对于进一步完善反垄断法及国家安全审查制度具有重要的现实意义和战略意义。根据外资并购呈现出的新趋势,我国对外资并购的管理重点应从重视市场建设的经济层面上升到重视市场与规制建设并重的法治环境层面,以维护产业乃至国家经济安全。     

我国企业跨国并购的整合风险及应对之策

近年来,我国企业在实践“走出去”战略的过程中,大胆尝试跨国并购,颇有收获。但是,不少企业在跨国并购整合风险的问题上存在着理论和实践误区,它们常常仅关注并购本身,轻视整合,从而使不少前景看好的并购,最终以失败告终。因此,本文借鉴国际企业的并购经验,联系我国企业跨国并购的实践,拟就我国企业跨国并购的现状、特点、整合风险及对策,做一探讨。

The Impact of Services Trade Restrictiveness on Trade Flows

This paper uses recent OECD data on services trade restrictions (STRI) to analyse the relationship between services trade policies and cross‐border trade in services. A standard gravity model is enhanced by the STRI indices in a cross‐section regression analysis. Services trade restrictions are negatively associated with both imports and exports of services. The surprisingly strong effect on services exports is probably explained by a negative relationship between the STRIs and sector performance indicators. Consequently, services suppliers from less open countries are less competitive abroad. Bilateral differences in regulation are also found to curtail services trade over and above the impact of the trade liberalisation level. At the margin, regulatory differences have a larger effect on trade flows the lower the level of the STRI.     

The Effect of Cross‐Border Mergers and Acquisitions on Earnings Quality: Evidence from China

Despite the fruitful research on the motives and outcomes of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) of Chinese multinational corporations (MNCs), there has been scant research on the impact of cross‐border M&As on corporate governance. In this article, we fill the research gap by exploring whether cross‐border M&As may lead to an improvement in corporate governance of Chinese acquirers. In particular, we examine the impact of cross‐border M&As on earnings quality of Chinese MNCs. We find that the acquisition of a target firm from a developed country leads to a significant improvement on the acquirer's earnings quality. In comparison, the acquisition of a target from an emerging market does not have such an impact. Our results are robust to various corporate governance measures, alternative econometric methods, and controls of relevant firm characteristics and macroeconomic variables. Finally, we show that the effect of cross‐border M&As on earnings quality is more pronounced in non‐state‐owned enterprises (non‐SOEs) that have conducted large M&A deals. Our article offers new insight to the international business literature on latecomer perspective and liability of foreignness. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Understanding cross‐border mergers and acquisitions of African firms: The role of dynamic capabilities in enabling competitiveness amidst contextual constraints

This article builds on existing international business literature that examines the drivers of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As) within emerging and developing economy contexts, theoretically exploring how dynamic capabilities (DCs) are connected to these drivers, and how African emerging multinational enterprises (EMNEs) can pursue them to achieve competitiveness. The article's contribution is the development of a DC framework and testable propositions for African EMNEs' cross‐border M&As. The theoretical framework shows the division of DC dimensions—sensing, seizing, and transforming—and establishes explanations for their linkage with institutional and resource drivers for African EMNEs' cross‐border M&A competitiveness. In addition, the article outlines managerial implications to this effect. Overall, the article contributes to the emerging literature on the international expansion of African EMNEs through cross‐border M&As by underscoring the role of DCs.     

促进民营企业跨国并购的对策研究

跨国并购是中国民营企业跨国发展的重要方式之一。现阶段，中国民营企业跨国并购的主要特点是并购规模小。造成这种现象的主要原因在于民营企业跨国并购面临着所有制歧视、企业制度、法律和中介机构不完善等方面的障碍。只有通过采取建立扶持政策、完善监管体系、法律体系和非政府支持体系等方面的措施，中国民营企业跨国并购才能获得更大的发展。     

The Concurrent Impact of Cultural,Political, and Spatial Distances on International Mergers and Acquisitions

This paper explores the concurrent effects of cultural, political, and spatial distances on mergers and acquisitions (M&A) flows occurring between any two countries belonging to the whole European Union (27 States) or to the European Neighbours group (16 States) over the period 2000–11. In the econometric analysis, based on zero‐inflated models, we simultaneously estimate the probability of engaging in a cross‐border M&A and the intensity of the deals. This allows us to adequately model the two different mechanisms which may result in the absence of deals in the cross‐border bilateral M&A transactions. The absence of deals may be due to either the lack of any transactions or unsuccessful negotiations. Taking into account the effect of population, gross domestic product, technological capital, financial conditions and quality of the institutions, we find robust evidence that the multi‐dimensional distance between two countries negatively affects both the probability and the intensity of M&A deals.     

Cross‐border M&As by Chinese firms: An analysis of strategic motives and performance

This article considers the strategic motivation and performance of Chinese cross‐border mergerand‐ acquisition (M&A) activities of 27 deals that took place in the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets in 2000–2004. The study finds that cross‐border M&As formation by Chinese firms are primarily motivated by market development (that is, increasing market share) to enable faster entry into new markets, promote diversification, and obtain foreign advanced technology and other resources. In terms of wealth creation, the study finds that cross‐border M&As create value for Chinese acquiring firms. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Light‐Touch Integration of Chinese Cross‐Border M&A: The Influences of Culture and Absorptive Capacity

As a major entry mode of global strategy of Chinese MNCs, Chinese cross‐border merger and acquisition (M&A) is still a less understood phenomenon, in particular the post acquisition phase. This study contributes to this rising, important and interesting phenomenon utilizing an explorative research method. By integrating synergy potential, culture influences and the learning perspective, we suggest a multilevel perspective in understanding Chinese cross‐border M&A. A novel post acquisition integration approach, namely light‐touch integration, is investigated, and supported by newly assembled empirical evidence in the context of Chinese M&A in Germany. Light‐touch integration essentially synthesizes the preservation and symbiosis integration approaches due to the contextual characteristics of Chinese cross‐border M&A, such as cultural influences and the learning perspective. Understanding the cultural and learning influences can facilitate and smooth the activities involved in the post acquisition phase. The light‐touch integration approach offers ample opportunities for joint collaborations between and mutual benefits for acquiring firms, acquired targets and third party organizations. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

The Determinants of Cross‐border M&As: The Role of Institutions and Financial Development in the Gravity Model

This paper examines the macroeconomic determinants of cross‐border mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Using a panel dataset of bilateral M&A deal values for 101 countries for 17 years ranging from 1989 to 2005, we investigate both home and host‐country factors that may play an important role in determining the size and direction of M&A flows. Overall, the empirical results suggest that legal and institutional quality and financial market development increase M&A volume across borders. The significant effect of institutions, however, may disappear for transactions between countries in similar stages of the development.
