Strategic perspectives on European cross-border acquisitions: a view from top European executives
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted into cross-border acquisitions to see what 142 senior managers consider to be the main strategic issues. The single market has encouraged companies to consider acquisitions in other countries within Europe because is allows them to take advantage of the economies of scale. The value of these acquisitions has increased from 2 billion pounds sterling in 1985 to 20 billion pounds in 1995, and about 80% of the companies in the study agreed that cross-border activity was a strategic priority. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
