• Acquisition Behavior of Emerging Versus Developed Market Multinationals

  Kashif Ahmed, Ralf Bebenroth

  The purpose of this paper is to investigate how emerging and developed market multinationals (EMMs and DMMs) differ in their acquisition behavior (vis-à-vis the choice of partial versus full acquisitions) when entering a developed market economy, Japan. We hypothesize that EMMs prefer partial acquisitions, whereas DMMs prefer full acquisitions due to what we call the country-of-origin effect. Additionally, we hypothesize that this country-of-origin effect is more pronounced for smaller firms. The results, based upon 224 strategic cross-border acquisitions in Japan, support these two hypotheses. This study contributes to the literature on EMMs.

• 日本におけるM&Aと被買収企業の業績

  BEBENROTH Ralf, Li Donghao

  本稿では,海外の企業により買収された日本企業の業績の変化について検討する。海外の企業による日本企業の買収事例としては,ルノーによる買収後業績が回復した日産自動車や,ダイムラー・クライスラーによる買収後に業績が悪化した三菱自動車などがあげられる。本研究では海外企業より買収された全ての日本企業を,比較的長期間(買収前の5年間及び買収後の5年間計10年間)にわたって分析を行なった。その結果,海外の企業による買収は日本企業の業績に寄与しなかったということが明らかとなった。さらに,人員削減が行なわれていることも明らかになった。しかし,一般的に考えられていることとは違い,人員削減は買収の間だけではなく,その前後も行われていた。

  Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Osaka University, 2008 - 2010

  Based on the extensive literature reviews and field survey, we developed a theoretical framework on the characteristics of top management teams (TMTs) in multinational companies (MNCs)' foreign affiliates, and their effect on affiliate performance. The theoretical framework was then empirically tested through quantitative data and statistical analysis of MNCs' foreign affiliates operating in Japan. Our findings were presented at international academic conferences and the papers on this topic were published in major English journals.

  1年間ドイツと日本のコーポレート・ガバナンスについて研究し,様々な論文を発表した。 ドイツの企業は政府から新しいコーポレート・ガバナンス・コデックスを守るよう規制されているため,ドイツの120程度の企業を探して,コーポレート・ガバナンスを守っているかどうかを調べてパフォマンスを検討した。また,日本のコーポレート・ガバナンスにつき,取締役会の役割を調査した。 この課題については,7月2日に徳島大学で開催された経済財務管理学会で報告した。 加えて,様々な研究者,例えば田渕進氏(大阪経済大学教授),Li Donhao氏(神戸大学COE研究員)とUwe Vollmer氏(Leipzig大学教授)と一緒に協同研究を始めた。
